I am advised by the military authorities that they are currently in the process of consolidating the recommendations of General Officers Commanding/Formation Commanders regarding these promotions. Appointments within Brigades/Formations for each individual at the higher rank after promotion are also being identified. The Defence Forces continues to work to the original timeline of the end of Q4 2017 for these promotions.
