The New Induction Method in the Austrian Army (Das Neue Stellungsverfahren im Oesterreichischen Bundeswehr).
Abstract
The previous induction method by improvised boards 'wandering' from induction site to induction site was not able to make determinations to the extent necessary whether the person liable to conscription had the mental and physical fitness for discharging his compulsory service obligation. Owing to this situation, erroneous estimations continue to be made so that the burden for determination of fitness was shifted to the induction examination. Owing to many negative experiences, the Replacement Department of the Federal Ministry for National Defense suggested to the Federal Board for Army Reform that the induction method be improved. In 1972, the Federal Minister gave the task of forming a project group under the chairmanship of the Chief of Replacement Department A and to make the necessary preparations for introduction of this induction method. Permanent induction boards were set up in the military commands of Vienna, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Tyrol, Carinthia and Steiermark.
