In accordance with established order, all soldiers who have served for 30 years and above are to be honorably released (pensioned) this month, May 2025. This cohort were recruited into the Ghana Armed Forces in 1995/1996 (30 years ago) and have served the nation with distinction.
The Minister for Defence, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, commends these soldiers highly for their dedicated service, patriotism, and courage. The soldiers’ willingness to serve has been exemplary, and their contributions to the Ghana Armed Forces will always be remembered.
As the old order gives way for fresh blood to be recruited into the Ghana Armed Forces, the Minister urges the public to ignore any propaganda about the Ghana Armed Forces. The Ghana Armed Forces will continue to provide authentic information and updates.
The Minister reiterates the commitment to governing by the rules, including the tenets of the Armed Forces Council Act. Once again, congratulations to the gallant 1995/96 cohort of soldiers on this well-deserved milestone.
This retirement marks a significant chapter in the lives of these soldiers, who have sacrificed so much for the nation. We wish them well in their future endeavors and appreciate their service to Ghana.
The Ghana Armed Forces will continue to uphold its values of discipline, professionalism, and patriotism as it welcomes new recruits and bids farewell to its veteran soldiers.
