Formal notification of posting of officers to appointments in the Defence Forces, including RDF officers, is effected by means of an amendment to the Gazette. Such amendments are normally published monthly.
In the case of the appointment of officers, including commanding officers, to the new RDF establishment, the military authorities have proposed the publication of a special Gazette amendment, which will include all officer appointments encompassing 671 officers. The military authorities have informed me that this will be published shortly and all appointments will be with effect from 1 October 2005, when the new organisation came into effect.
