GRGreece's Ministry of Defense announced the creation of three new Special Operations units, two of which will be composed entirely of reservists. These units will be based in different regions of the country, including the Athens area, Central Macedonia, and the northern part of the Evros regional unit, near the borders with Turkey and Bulgaria. This strategy draws inspiration from countries like Estonia and Finland, where reservists are stationed near their homes. The initiative is part of a broader plan to integrate reservists into the armed forces through regular refresher training for up to 150,000 personnel. The focus on Special Operations comes partly due to reservists' interest in being retrained, though the plan requires accelerating the current slow-paced training process.
