Belgium's Defense Ministry is proposing to remove the age limit for military reservists to enhance recruitment efforts and utilize a broader skill set. A draft law introduced by Peter Buysrogge aims to abolish the 34-year maximum age for ordinary reservists and the 50-year limit for reserve officers. The initiative seeks to recruit at least 1,000 new reservists annually and is part of a broader strategy to increase the defense budget to meet NATO's 2% GDP target.
