Calling for unity in the fight against terrorism and instability, Lebanese military leaders graduated a fresh crop of young officers in November 2018.
Lebanese Army Commander Gen. Joseph Aoun presided at the graduation ceremony at Tripoli Municipal Stadium, joined by Brig. Gen. Yaqoub Muawad, commander of the Army’s 12th Brigade.
Brig. Gen. Muawad commended graduates on their decision to join the Army to defend the homeland and preserve its dignity at this critical time.
“These men, who come from all over the country, reflect the cohesion between the military establishment and Lebanese society and the overall role played by the Army. Servicemen and women carry out their mission as an integrated team united by one goal and common thought, adhering to discipline and setting an example for Lebanese youths to follow,” Brig. Gen. Muawad said.
He called on the young officers to follow the path of “honor, sacrifice and loyalty” as they began their military careers. In recent years, Lebanese forces have rebuffed attempts by Daesh-affiliated terrorists to take over towns in the northern part of the country.
“In our dear country, there is no choice but to unite and fight division and discord to deter anyone trying to undermine our stability, especially terrorism, which has suffered successive defeats, but is still seeking to exploit any opportunity to destabilize,” the brigadier general said.
