Halan, meanwhile, will be responsible for developing and retaining the human capital of the Defence Forces.

"The focus will be on effective recruitment, clear career progression, social protection for service members and their families, high-quality personnel training, healthcare, as well as rules that clearly define service members’ rights and duties and protect them from arbitrary treatment," the official said.
