It is a firm commitment in the conscience of all military personnel, too strong for difficulties no matter how great they may be.

He pointed out that Army Command is well aware of the necessity of alleviating the burden of the crisis off its soldiers, and puts its fullest energies to this end by relying on its own capabilities and assistance from countries friends of Lebanon. The institution’s commitment to protecting the country and its people is coupled with concern for the military and hard work to alleviate their living suffering, in the hope that the economic hardship will end in a short time.
