The army will likely fail its 2023 target of recruitment, falling short of 1,500-2,000 recruits, which is a source of concern for the French military leadership in light of the Ukrainian crisis, the broadcaster said. The country’s military is also having difficulties retaining its private and non-commissioned officers, with many of them opting to leave the institution for the private sector, the broadcaster reported. A senior officer was cited as saying that the human resources problem were expected to continue to inundate the military over the next few years.
