NATO | A day in the life of a 🇫🇮 Finnish artillery reservist @NATO | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 9 minutes ago
Despite having a population of only 5.5 million, Finland has an impressive wartime strength of 280,000 military personnel. That is mostly due to its comprehensive conscription service that all men between the ages of 18 and 60 must complete. Women can apply for the military service voluntarily.
After completing their service, Finns fulfil their roles as reservists by taking refresher courses and joining exercises that keep the skillsets they learned during their service up-to-date.
