(AP-ANSA) - BERLIN - Germany's military is rolling out a line
of mater nity uniform for pregnant soldiers following successful
field t ests last year. Germany's defense ministry says some 80
volunteers tested a range of uniforms as well as underwear and
tights, and their feedback will be considered. It said "our goal
in the end is to buy uniforms that best meet the requirements of
the users." In a statement Tuesday, the ministry confirmed a
report by German news agency dpa that it plans to buy 500 sets
of uniforms for about 650,000 euros ($800,865). It said that
about two percent of Germany's 20,000 female soldiers are
pregnant. (AP-ANSA).
