Overview
- The decree, published on December 30, sends citizens under contract in the mobilization reserve to special assemblies throughout 2026 to protect critical and other life‑support facilities.
- The government must define the list of facilities to be secured, with the Defense Ministry designating the military units that will conduct the assemblies.
- Financing will be covered within the Ministry of Defense appropriations specified in the federal budget.
- Officials stress the measure is not a mobilization and that reservists remain civilians distinct from active contract servicemembers.
- The directive implements a law signed in November, and participants are promised social guarantees, compensation, insurance and medical support comparable to servicemembers.
