Dubai streamlines promotion process of military personnel

A new decree has been issued in Dubai on the promotion and retirement of local military personnel.

The move aims to ensure transparency, fairness and merit-based promotions in the military.

In his capacity as the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE issued the decree.

It outlines the criteria for the promotion of military personnel in Dubai, including the programmes and courses they must complete to be eligible for promotion, as well as the evaluation process for gaining higher ranks.

The decree also specifies the conditions governing the retirement of personnel and the procedures for notification and postponement.

Military personnel must be informed of their impending retirement at least six months in advance of their retirement date to ensure ample time for planning and a smooth transition.

The new decree also takes into account the reintegration of personnel who retired due to health issues.

The Chief of Police and Public Security in Dubai will issue the decisions required to implement the decree.
