Title: Physical control within the FARDC in Ituri: a crucial step for the reorganization of the Congolese army
Introduction :
As part of the reorganization of the Congolese army, the physical control of soldiers within the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) was recently launched in the province of Ituri. This operation aims to identify and register the Congolese soldiers present in the various units, with the aim of improving the management of the army and strengthening security in the region. This article explores in detail this initiative and its importance for the stability and effectiveness of the FARDC.
The need for reorganization of the Congolese army:
For years, the Congolese army has faced major challenges in terms of organization, discipline and personnel management. To remedy these problems, President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi took the initiative to reorganize the FARDC in all the provinces of the country. This reform aims to strengthen the Congolese army and improve its ability to deal with the security challenges that persist in certain regions.
The role of physical control of the military:
The physical control of soldiers within the FARDC in Ituri is a crucial step in this reorganization. It makes it possible to identify and list the military personnel present in the three defense zones of the province. This operation aims to know precisely the available military personnel, in order to better plan operations and guarantee better support for soldiers on the ground.
Flow of the control operation:
The physical control operation was launched by Lieutenant General Johnny Luboya N’kashama, military governor of Ituri. He was the first to be biometrically identified, thus setting an example to follow. FARDC General Inspectorate teams are deployed in the field to check military personnel in each unit. From the military hierarchy down to rank and file soldiers, everyone is affected by this control operation.
The objectives of the operation:
The physical control of soldiers within the FARDC in Ituri has several objectives. First of all, it will make it possible to accurately determine the military personnel present in the province, which is essential for better management of the security forces. Then, this operation will make it possible to identify any irregularities or infiltrations in the ranks of the army, and to correct them quickly. Finally, this physical control will contribute to reinforce discipline and confidence within the FARDC, by showing the commitment of the government in the reorganization of the army.
Conclusion :
The physical control of soldiers within the FARDC in Ituri represents an essential step in the reorganization of the Congolese army. This operation will make it possible to identify and list the military personnel present in the province, thus strengthening discipline, the management of security forces and stability in the region. Through this initiative, the Congolese government demonstrates its commitment to a strong, well-organized army capable of facing the country’s security challenges
