After 1993, the Slovenian Armed Forces had relied on mandatory military service, with conscripts receiving 6–7 months of training. In 2003, the Slovenian [[Politics of Slovenia|Government]] abolished [[conscription]] and as of July 2004, the Slovenian Armed Forces had been almost completely reorganised into a professional army now based on volunteers. Currently there are approximately 7,300 active troops and approximately 1,500 in reserve, reduced from 55,000 personnel during conscription.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

A major reorganization of the Slovenian Armed Forces is currently underway with a goal of making them more effective and to increase the defense budget to the NATO required 2%.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Obrambni izdatki se povečujejo, v letu 2024 se nakazujejo v višini 1,35 odstotka BDP-ja |url=https://www.rtvslo.si/slovenija/obrambni-izdatki-se-povecujejo-v-letu-2024-se-nakazujejo-v-visini-1-35-odstotka-bdp-ja/731434 |access-date=2024-12-31 |website=rtvslo.si |language=sl}}</ref> The goal is set to be accomplished near year 2030. More than half of all commands have been disbanded which has made commanding the subordinated units easier and faster. Soldiers are to be located nearer to their homes in order to minimize travel costs. Since the Slovenian Armed Forces do not have enough modern armored vehicles to maintain three motorized battalions fulfilled at every time, one Wheeled Combat Vehicles Company and one Tank Company have been organized within the Logistics brigade, which now lends vehicles to any of four newly formed infantry regiments, regarding to the regiments' needs. Reorganization also transformed 72nd Brigade from a support unit to a combat unit and thus equaled it with the 1st Brigade. Both brigades were added support elements, such as Air Defense, Artillery, Intelligence, etc. The operational units now consist of a Special Operations Unit, Naval Division, an Aviation Regiment and three [[brigade]]s, the [[1st Brigade (Slovenian Armed Forces)|1st]] (responsible for western Slovenia), [[72nd Brigade (Slovenian Armed Forces)|72nd]] (responsible for eastern Slovenia) and Logistics Brigade.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}
