Lebanese Commander praises women’s role in the army

26-2-2018

During his inspection last Friday of women soldiers enrolled in the Presidential Guard Brigade basic training course, the Lebanese Army Commander, General Joseph Aoun, stressed the significant role of women in the army, particularly in the administrative, logistical and medical units. Aoun underlined the Military Police women’s special performance and the brave confrontation spirit they boasted during the recent Arsal hostilities which has considerably contributed to and facilitated support to the combat units. Aoun lauded the successful volunteering of females in the Military Establishment which began with the term of President Michel Aoun back in 1989, and continues to date, stressing the need to activate their role and increase the numbers of women soldiers in keeping with the Army’s conviction in promoting equal opportunity and gender equality.
