Military Reform – 2023
2023
Intermediate Implementation 
It was reported that 55,000 NUF graduated between August 2022 and January 2023. As part of the reintegration into the SSPDF, 3,777 trained NUF soldiers were deployed in different states, but Phase II training has yet to start. There was a delay in the redeployment of the trained NUF forces due to a lack of funding and unresolved rank harmonization in the middle and lower-level commands.[1]
