The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced that the documentation and body selection exercise for the 2025 recruitment will be held from Wednesday November 12 to Thursday November 13, 2025, at officially designated screening centres nationwide.
In a statement issued on Sunday, GAF said the exercise covers all applicants who successfully completed the online enlistment process for the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
The recruitment process, which opened on October 1, 2025, was originally set to close on October 31 but was later extended to November 7 to accommodate applicants affected by technical challenges on the recruitment portal.
GAF noted that this year’s screening has been decentralised across all 16 regional capitals to enhance accessibility and efficiency for qualified candidates across the country.
According to the statement, the 2025 recruitment forms part of a broader plan to enlist 12,000 new personnel over the next three and a half years to boost national security and operational capacity.
The Armed Forces reiterated the minimum height requirements for applicants 1.68 metres for males and 1.57 metres for females. For the Military Police, the standards are higher: 1.75 metres for men and 1.70 metres for women.
The documentation and body selection phase, also known as the attestation stage, will involve final physical assessments and verification of applicants’ personal documents.
