In 2024, Estonia plans to call up almost 17,000 reservists for Defense Forces (EDF) training exercises to refresh skills and introduce new weapons systems. This figure marks a significant increase from 6,000 reservists in 2018, reflecting national defense development. The exercises include training with new equipment such as the R20 assault rifle, NEGEV machine guns, and procedures for operating HIMARS multiple rocket launchers to be adopted in 2025. Over 7,000 reservists from EDF units and about 10,000 from the Defense League's territorial defense will participate. Key exercises like Springstorm involve over 7,000 participants. The training aims to strengthen Estonia’s defensive capabilities and prepare reservists for their role in national defense.
