In addition, the third axis provides for the introduction of the Informatics Corps to the Armed Forces, tasked with shielding the same against modern cybersecurity challenges and threats.
The fourth axis includes individual arrangements of issues mainly related to the smooth operation of military hospitals and the health care provided, new special programs for the service of men and women in the Armed Forces, conscription arrangements, etc.
