Graduation of the 39th Staff Course at the Fouad Shehab Command and Staff College

A graduation ceremony for the 39th Staff Course was held earlier today at the Fouad Shehab Command and Staff College in Rayhaniyeh. The Ceremony included officers from the LAF, security agencies, and officers from Sister Arab countries. The ceremony was presided over by the Chief of Staff, Major General Hassan Audi, and attended by the Inspector General, representatives of security agencies and national universities, diplomatic figures, a number of military attachés, as well as several officers and the families of the graduates.

After the certificates were distributed to the graduates, speeches were delivered by the top graduate of the Command and Staff Course, the top-ranking officer among the Arab participants, and the College Commander. Then the Chief of Staff delivered a speech, stating:

“We are all aware of the gravity of this period for our region, the numerous changes and complexities in the geopolitical landscape, and the uncertainty surrounding the region’s future as conflicts intensify and expand. This reality weighs heavily on Lebanon from various angles, especially with the Israeli enemy continuing its assaults on our security and sovereignty, following its recent aggression and the heavy human and material losses it caused. Accordingly, the military institution is exerting its utmost efforts to carry out its missions and is working to restore stability in the South through close cooperation with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), within the framework of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.”
He concluded by congratulating the graduates, commending the efforts of the college’s personnel and instructors, and thanking the universities, particularly the Lebanese University, for their academic cooperation with the army to enhance the cultural and scientific level of its members.
