MPs Jonas Andersen Sayed, Jørgen H. Kristiansen, and Hans Edvard Askjer have introduced a proposal asking the government to examine introducing a mandatory emergency preparedness course for all draft-age citizens who do not complete military service. The proposers argue that only about 15 percent of each age cohort completes military service, leaving the rest without systematic training in their role during crisis or war. They contend that public preparedness and resilience are too weak, and that society as a whole must be ready to maintain critical functions.
