The Defence Forces are committed to pursuing best-practice methods in the context of the efficient administration of a military force. In that regard, personnel records are digitised and maintained on a Personnel Management System (PMS) which stores relevant personnel data concerning the Force. Similarly, interaction with Defence Forces competitions, such as General Service Recruitment, is carried out on digital platforms. Routine administration matters are communicated digitally, as are some financial, inventory and asset management transactions.
