Germany's defense minister says the military has put some 4,000 soldiers on call this weekend in case they're needed to help deal with the influx of migrants.
Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen told the weekly Der Spiegel that "the country can count on the Bundeswehr's support." She indicated there's room to increase the number of soldiers available if needed.
The Germany military has already made accommodations available for 14,500 migrants at barracks and other facilities in Germany.
Soldiers also have helped with transport and tents and some military officials have been sent to help the national migration authority process the rise in asylum cases.
