The Ghana Armed Forces has announced the conclusion of the selection process for the inaugural batch of recruits, comprising 2,000 individuals who are set to embark on training.
According to an official statement issued by Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin, the selected recruits are expected to report to their designated regional selection centres across all 16 regions on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 9am to collect their appointment letters and prospectus.
The Armed Forces noted that this initial cohort forms part of four batches slated for training.
Additionally, the Armed Forces assured applicants who were deferred due to treatable medical conditions during the screening process that they would be reconsidered at a later stage at no additional cost upon seeking appropriate medical care.
The statement further disclosed that the first batch includes 18 individuals who sustained injuries during the El-Wak Stadium stampede last year, as well as five others sponsored by families of victims of the incident in recognition of the tragedy.
The military expressed gratitude to all 16 regional administrations for their support in decentralising the recruitment process, in line with government policy.
Meanwhile, GAF has admonished the remaining applicants to remain patient, assuring them that further selections would be made from a pool of high-performing candidates, with additional considerations being given to individuals from Sikaman in the Ashanti Region who assisted in last year’s helicopter crash rescue efforts.
