The amendment will extend the liability for military service by 15 years for the rank and file and by five years for officers and non-commissioned officers. Now the upper age limit for reserve service is 50 for enlisted ranks and 60 for officers and non-commissioned officers.

In five years, Finland’s reserve force will number roughly one million.

That’s a lot for a 5.6 million pop.

Stupid decision. Even for high-rank officers. People older than 60 are completely useless in the army.
