The Ministry of National Defense in conjunction with DynCorp International/Security Sector Reform(SSR) would launch a week-long major up country recruitment drive in the Central and Southeastern parts of Liberia.

According to a Defense Ministry release the exercise is in line with the ministry's effort to build a more vibrant and regionally representative military for Liberia.

The purpose of this up country recruitment drive is to encourage and avail equal opportunity to eligible young men and women who are desirous of becoming part of the new Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL).

The recruitment team would be at the City Hall in Zwedru City, Grand Gedeh County from 8-10 May, 2008. Young men and women from surrounding counties including River Gee, Sinoe, Grand Kru, Maryland and elsewhere are encouraged to converge at the Zwedru's recruitment center.
