Reserves
Lithuanian Land Forces are formed from professional military servicemen and volunteers. On 2008 the minister of national defence of Lithuania has signed a law that holds conscript calling to the army as Lithuania creates a professional army. National defence is based on reserve forces and mobilisation forces. New minister plans to increase national defence capabilities by making all males from 18 to 24 take 7 week military basic training. After that the person will be added to the military reserves.

Famous quotes containing the word reserves:
“While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“...I want to see a film, they send the Israeli army reserves to escort me! What kind of life is this?”
—Golda Meir (1898–1978)
