The National Guard will equip all reservists with modern personal combat gear, aligning with active duty forces. This initiative was discussed during the Parliamentary Defence Committee's final 2025 session.

Equipment will include new combat helmets, battle vests, backpacks, and protective eyewear, with a contract signed with Israeli companies Source Vagabond and Marom Dolphin for annual deliveries. Special forces and critical units will receive priority, with full implementation expected within five years. Additionally, the National Guard has requested canvas camping gear from the U.S. through the Excess Defense Articles programme, including various tents, sleeping bags, and camouflage nets to enhance field living conditions.
