Caretaker Minister of Defense Maurice Slim signed decrees on Wednesday for the promotion of officers, effective January 1, 2024.
This action marks the initial promotion for all ranks in the year 2024, with the decrees being transmitted to the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers following established protocols.
Furthermore, the Minister of Defense has approved the registration lists for officers spanning from second lieutenant to colonel, which have been forwarded to the Army command for the necessary procedural steps.
It is important to highlight that Slim, who has strong affiliations with the Free Patriotic Movement, opposes the extension of the term of office for Army Commander-in-Chief, General Joseph Aoun.
The Council of Ministers, assembled by Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Friday, was slated to deliberate on this issue. However, the extension might encounter obstacles as it necessitates the endorsement of the minister.
