Haitian military modernization and reform

Overview

Haiti is pursuing efforts to modernize and professionalize its military forces (FAd’H) in response to a severe security crisis. Defense Minister Mario Andrésol has reported on the integration of 339 new soldiers and a national recruitment campaign that attracted over 17,000 applicants. Physical reforms include the rehabilitation of military bases in Vertières, Anacaona, and Clercine, alongside strengthened partnerships with the United States, Brazil, and France.

To address institutional discipline, the Defense Minister has overseen the public dismissal of soldiers accused of misconduct. Furthermore, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé and Defense Minister Andrésol have launched the National Defense and Security Forum. This initiative, centered on the question ‘What army for Haiti?’, aims to facilitate national reflection on military reconstruction and renovation through academic partnerships and international cooperation.
