Armed Forces General Command starts implementation of recruitment program

(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The General Command of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army started the implementation of His Majesty King Abdullah II's directives on Fursan Al Mustaqbal (Knighs of the future) program.

The program will give university graduates the opportunity to enlist in the army as officers provided that they meet the requirements during an assessment period of five years.

His Majesty on Tuesday received a reply letter from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff General Mashal Al Zaben in which he asserted the army's determination to improve its human resources policies and programs.

Zaben said that the program is designed to improve young people's skills and qualifications to later work in other sectors inside and outside the Kingdom with discipline, commitment and determination being the major qualities they acquire during their military career.

The King on Monday sent a letter to Zaben, directing the army to reconsider its approach to the recruitment and career development of commissioned officers.
