General Staff Celebrates 67th Anniversary of FAR
A ceremony was held Sunday at the headquarters of the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) in Rabat, on the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the creation of FAR.
Chaired by the Inspector General of the FAR, Commander of the Southern Zone, Major General Mohammed Berrid, the ceremony was marked by the review of the troop, the raising of the national colors and the reading of the order of the day addressed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Supreme Commander and Chief of General Staff of FAR, to officers, non-commissioned officers and privates.
In this order of the day, the Sovereign stresses that “the ability to project into the future and the need to adapt to unforeseen developments and to perform multiple and varied tasks, under any circumstances and at any time, require, in execution of Our Majesty’s Orders, continuous work to develop the planning and command system with the activation of a wide network of communication and information means in order to carry out the main missions, with discipline and professionalism.”
“The geostrategic changes that are taking place on the international scene require, in addition to constant vigilance and continuous adaptation, to adopt a rational approach, both qualitative and quantitative, in order to strengthen the defensive, operational and logistical capabilities of Our Forces, as well as to acquire modern technical means in areas as sensitive as the management of operations and defense systems, surveillance and digitalization, which requires preparation and qualification of the human element to accompany the changes,” says His Majesty the King.
Hailing the commendable efforts made by officers, non-commissioned officers and privates, with all their components, as well as with their counterparts of the National Security, Auxiliary Forces, Civil Protection and Territorial Administrations, in the fields of the management of the emergencies, of the relief and of the social solidarity, HM King Mohammed VI states that “the constant perseverance and the permanent mobilization, which you have always shown, only reinforce Our determination to continue the effort and the action so that you can have the necessary means to carry out your multiple tasks.”
“We also wish to express Our pride for your continuous mobilization in accompanying the training of a new promotion of conscripts to the military service, to which Our Majesty attaches particular attention in order to guarantee its success and to achieve its noble goals. In compliance with Our High Instructions, the Royal Armed Forces have mobilized, for this purpose, all their capacities and military cadres, within the framework of an active partnership with public administrations and the Office of Vocational Training and Employment Promotion,” underlines the Sovereign.
On this occasion, several officers, non-commissioned officers and privates were decorated with Wissams which were awarded to them by the Sovereign, Supreme Commander and Chief of General Staff of the FAR.
The ceremony was also marked by the organization of a military parade in which detachments of the Headquarters Battalion under the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces took part.
The 67th anniversary of the creation of the FAR is a new opportunity to pay a tribute to the noble missions that this institution plays to raise the colors of the Nation and defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
