Ghana Armed Forces would soon re-introduce promotional examinations for other ranks to progress to higher ranks, Brigadier General Mohammed Aryee, the Commander of the Army Training Command, said on Thursday.

Speaking at the passing out parade of the Basic Infantry Training Course 2/2017 at the Army Recruits Training Schools in Shai Hills in the Greater Accra, Brigadier General Aryee, said promotional exams used to be in existence in the 80s but was cancelled.

He said the Forces thought it is prudent to re-introduce it to serve as a sense of purpose for other ranks to be abreast with the basic knowledge about the Forces.

Brigadier General Aryee assured the officers’ of human and material resources to assist them in upgrading their knowledge for progression.

In all 328 recruits pass out of the course out of the total of 355, while the rest were sacked due to failure to pass fitness test and other misconducts.

Brigadier General Mohammed Aryee, cautioned the newly recruited junior officers to exhibit high sense of professionalism and not put the law in their hands by engaging in unauthorised operations.

“As soldiers you fall under both the civil laws of the country as well as military law and regulations. The Military High Command detests unwarranted and unnecessary confrontations between military personnel and personnel of other security agencies, especially the police,” he stated.
