GERMANY-DEFENCE-SOLDIERS-POLIRICS-FINANCE-FILES
FILES - Picture taken on September 1, 2010 shows soldiers casting their shadows on ground in the courtyard of the chancellory during the ceremony of the guard of honour as German Chancellor Angela Merkel receives (unseen) Finnish Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi (unseen) in Berlin. The German government on May 18, 2011 approved a broad reform of the armed forces that will see troop levels slashed from 250,000 to some 185,000 in a bid to save money and improve efficiency. "The fact that an imminent conventional attack on Germany is now unlikely means that earlier troop numbers ... are now unnecessary," Defence Minister Thomas de Maiziere said in a speech following the cabinet meeting.
