This comes as part of efforts to increase defense spending to reach the NATO target of 2% of GDP and modernize the Bundeswehr, following Chancellor Olaf Scholz's commitment after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The overhaul aims to address the need for quick decisions and eliminate duplication within the military, with a focus on defending the country and the alliance.

Ukrainian forces have conducted counteroffensive operations, making limited gains in several sectors. The Ukrainian military has adjusted its strategy to minimize casualties while attriting Russian forces.
