Graduation of women Republican Guards
4-10-2018
The Republican Guard Brigade hosted yesterday the graduation of women soldiers who completed their assigned training period. During the ceremony, Brigade Commander, Brigadier General Salim Feghali, addressed the graduates saying, “Your determination to join the army is yet another proof of the strength and courage of women and their fundamental role in society, in the various institutions, particularly in the security sector.” Concurrently, female soldiers in the Army’s commandos took part in a live combat exercise in Hanoush-Hamat training field and the adjacent coast. On the participation of women in the military, Al Diyar newspaper wrote today that in the framework of its strategy to build and rehabilitate the establishment, the Military has opted to accept scores of young Lebanese women degree-holders as military volunteers. This, the newspaper said, has improved the efficiency of the Army elements, and hence the speed of their responsiveness to their duties and their abilities to enhance their work, which increased overall productivity of the Army. Citing ministerial sources, Al Diyar said that after the experience proved successful, the near future will see more female military volunteers. (Al Diyar, Al Mustaqbal, October 4, 2018)
