"So far, the basic tenants of the deployment call for 1,200 soldiers, six Tornado reconnaissance jets, refueling aircraft and a frigate to join the international coalition fighting "IS," Deutsche Welle wrote.
The vote in the Bundestag is set for Friday, with approval seen as likely as German Chancellor Angela Merkel's "grand coalition" government enjoys a wide majority in the German parliament's lower house.
However, there are some key questions that are certain to come up during Wednesday's parliamentary debate.
One concerns the quick turnaround on the vote to deploy the military, which is seen as a sign of solidarity with France following the November 13 terror attacks in Paris.
Merkel met with French President Francois Hollande last week and pledged Germany's help. The cabinet's commitment came Tuesday, and now the vote is scheduled for Friday.
Another concern is regarding how long Germany's military commitment will last. Like any deployment of Germany's Bundeswehr armed forces, the mandate must be extended by the Bundestag each year, but there are concerns that Germany's involvement in Syria could drag on, Deutsche Welle wrote.
The head of Germany's armed forces union, Andre Wuestner of the Bundeswehrverband, told public broadcaster ARD on Tuesday that fighting could last "far more than ten years" and said politicians should come up with a "clearly defined mission" for the military.
German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said on public broadcaster ARD's morning program on Wednesday that "it will be a long deployment, and it will be a difficult and dangerous deployment," but the exact length would be determined by how quickly political negotiations at restoring peace in Syria would produce results.
