The National Security Governmental Council (KYSEA), Greece's top decision-making body for foreign affairs and defense matters, implemented substantial changes to the military leadership on Friday. These changes reflect the government's dedication to conducting a comprehensive review of the Armed Forces' operations and addressing issues from the recent past.

The Serbian Army is at the highest level of combat readiness, in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Commander and the President of the Republic, according to the Ministry of Defense.
The army, together with other security forces of the Republic of Serbia, is monitoring the development of the situation on the ground.

Τhe medical staff who were not vaccinated against Covid-19 and had consequently been on suspension for the past 16 months returned to work on January 2, based on a decision by the Council of State.

The systems were moved to determined locations according to the armed forces’ plan

The Hellenic National Defence released a relevant statement

The decision to put the General Staff under the authority of the Defense Ministry has ended an anomaly in terms of the military's allegiance to the elected government, according to a military expert. But civilian oversight of the military is not fully established as it is only limited to the executive branch, says Metin Gürcan.

The further enhancement of Greek-Israeli military cooperation was discussed during the three-day visit to Israel by the Chief of the Hellenic Army General Staff, Lieutenant General Alkiviadis Stefanis, at the invitation of Major Yaacov Barak, Chief of the Ground Forces Command.

The Supreme Military Council, if it can still be called so after all the changes made in its structure, convened and ended within four hours with a decision to reshuffle almost the entire command of the Turkish Armed Forces.
