Military Reform – 2020

As of January, the cantonment sites were transformed into training sites for all elements of the NUF (Necessary Unified Forces) including the military forces. As a result, screening for the NUF was shifted to training centers.^[1] The $5 million fund for NUF training was released.^[2] The CTSAMVM reported the arrival of combatants in training sites without screening and a limited number of screenings for the DDR.^[3] Registrations and screenings were put on hold for COVID-19 pandemic-related health risks.^[4]
