National Guard | Recruitment of Professional Soldiers to fill vacancies

New recruitments of Professional Soldiers (SYOP) so as to fill vacancies in the National Guard are expected to be announced by the Ministry of Defence.
According to information on our page from sources in the Ministry of Defence, new positions are expected to be announced in October with the aim of filling 79 vacancies. The vacancies that the Ministry wishes to fill arose either from recent resignations of SYOP or from the termination of SYOP contracts.
As far as we know, SYOP recruitments will be announced every year in order to fill the number of positions set by GEEF, that is, as many positions as needed in order to have the desired number of SYOP’s in the ranks of the National Guard.
