While the federal army wants to invest billions in rearmament in the coming years, the money also threatens an acute shortage of new professional officers. Because every third graduate of the Theresian Military Academy does not remain in the service of the fatherland.
The problem is self-made: while academic studies are required for employment as a career officer, this required criterion is flouted when it comes to salaries. In other words, anyone who has obtained a bachelor’s degree from the Theresian Military Academy (MilAk) in Wiener Neustadt is indeed an academic and a lieutenant, but is paid the same as a high school graduate.
