Italy plans to significantly increase its military personnel by over 60% in 18 years, costing an estimated 6 billion euros. The proposal, presented to the defense minister, aims to raise combined forces to 275,000 from 170,000, with a reserve of 15,000. This ambitious plan faces potential opposition due to Italy's debt and competing needs in health and education.
