The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced that the Documentation and Body Selection Exercise for its 2026/2027 Enlistment will take place from September 28 to 30, 2026. This exercise is a critical step in the enlistment process and will be held at designated centers in Kumasi and Accra. Qualified applicants will undergo documentation and body selection at these centers.
The exercise will be conducted simultaneously across two sectors of the country. Applicants in the Northern Sector will report to the 4 Infantry Battalion at Uaddara Barracks in Kumasi, while those in the Southern Sector will head to the Nicholson Stadium at the Air Force Base in Accra. The GAF has confirmed that qualified applicants will receive text messages with their assigned center and reporting instructions before the exercise begins.
The online application portal for the 2026/2027 Enlistment Exercise closed on September 23, 2026. Following this, the GAF has urged all qualified applicants to await their text messages confirming their qualification and providing details on their assigned dates, locations, and reporting guidelines. Only applicants who receive these notifications are expected to show up at the designated centers.
The Documentation and Body Selection Exercise is a crucial phase in the enlistment process, coming immediately after the completion of the online application phase. Applicants are advised to read their text messages carefully and comply with all directives from the Armed Forces. This will ensure a smooth and efficient process for all involved.
The GAF has emphasized that applicants who have applied but are yet to receive communication should await official notification and refrain from turning up at the venues without confirmation. This will help prevent unnecessary congestion and ensure that only qualified applicants participate in the exercise.
The exercise will run for three days, from September 28 to 30, 2026. During this time, applicants will undergo thorough documentation and body selection processes. The GAF has assured that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure that the exercise is conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
