The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has officially announced the resumption of its general release programme, beginning in May 2025, after a five-year suspension.
This development will see the retirement of all military personnel who were enlisted in the 1995 and 1996-year groups.
The directive, issued through a press release from the Department of Public Relations at the General Headquarters in Burma Camp, marks the end of active service for personnel who have either completed 30 years of duty or have reached the compulsory retirement age, as stipulated by GAF regulations. "Consequently, the first batch of general releases after the 5-year suspension will commence in May 2025.
This will involve the honourable release of distinguished personnel of the 1995 and 1996 year groups after successfully completing 30 years of meritorious service or having fully attained the compulsory retirement age in line with GAF Regulations. "With this resumption, the release of subsequent year groups will continue on completion of their service.
