Combat readiness, national security

By Sarah Saad

The General Command of the Armed Forces continues its dedicated efforts to strengthen military efficiency and ensure the protection of national security.

This is achieved by developing the capabilities of combat personnel and creating a supportive environment that promotes their well-being. 

The military leadership views combat personnel as the cornerstone of the Armed Forces’ strength and success.

Therefore, significant attention is given to improving their physical, psychological, and social conditions, alongside combat training.

Comprehensive healthcare services are provided to military personnel, including routine medical check-ups, advanced treatments, and psychological support to help them manage the stresses associated with military duties.

Additionally, training and educational programmes are regularly conducted to enhance their personal skills and combat potentials, thereby boosting their confidence and military preparedness. 

Inspection tours 

The general commander of the Armed Forces and the chief-of-staff conducted several inspection tours to assess the readiness of the military and elevate its operational performance.

These tours included meetings with commanders, officers, and soldiers to discuss ways to develop military capabilities, ensuring the Armed Forces’ ability to fulfil national missions and safeguard the country’s security. 

The tours also involved reviewing military operations and training exercises, including monitoring border guard activities and specialised combat training for army’s personnel.

Inspections of chemical defence units were also carried out to ensure their readiness to address potential risks. Meanwhile, the state has attached paramount importance to securing all strategic directions, with the main aim of reassuring citizens about the high readiness level of their Armed Forces.

The tours also included visits to the engineering industries complex to oversee production and the development of military equipment, in addition to research discussions with students of military colleges, focusing on innovations required to address regional and international challenges.
