Greece's Defence Minister Nikos Dendias presented the plan for changes in the army to the parties in parliament. The reforms will cover all three branches of the military. By 2030, 33 units that have lost operational value will be closed. At least 6 infantry regiments will be closed. In some of the units scheduled for closure, personnel do not even cover 20% of the staff, and many are seen only as a means of supporting the local economy. One of the border units currently has nothing but a bread oven, reports ekathimerini.com. 

The aim is to staff the divisions at no less than 70% of the staff numbers. For the first time, the three-tier air defense is planned to cover the entire airspace of mainland Greece and the islands.
