On Friday 7 January 2022, a total of 48 soldiers were sworn in at a ceremony held at the Military Centre in Diekirch.
The ceremony - which took place in a restricted setting due to COVID-19 restrictions - was the 41st passing-out parade of volunteer military recruits for the Luxembourg Army and was attended by Luxembourg's Minister of Defence, Francois Bausch.
The ceremony marks the completion of four months of basic training for the volunteers. This phase aims to prepare recruits for their future military activities within the Army.
In his speech, Minister Bausch noted the exceptional situation in which the basic training for recruits took place and thanked them for their commitment to the service of the country. The soldiers will be deployed within the week to different test centres.
