The conscripts must now return the underwear when they finish their military service so that it can be reused.

Norwegian recruits will now have to return the underwear when they finish their military service so that it can be reused and solve supply problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Defense had introduced that measure on a voluntary basis last year, but has now made it mandatory, Norwegian public television NRK reported on Friday.

“It is the most effective from the logistical and economic point of view. Reusing these clothes will help us to have more volume and increase the capacity to supply equipment. We have little in the warehouses,” a spokesman for the logistics department told this channel. Defending.

The returned underwear will be washed, cleaned and inspected to discard any that is in poor condition.

The association that represents the recruits has described the measure as “problematic” and ensures that supply failures already existed before the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions imposed by the different countries.

The order will be in effect this year, although Defense has not yet decided whether it will be established permanently. (I)
