Mission
According to the National Defense Law (Decree number 102 on 16/09/1983 and its amendments), 3 missions are assigned to the Lebanese Army: defense, security and development. These missions aim to defend the nation, preserve the State’s authority and sovereignty, protect the constitution, preserve security, and contribute to providing social stability and development.
Defense Mission
The first mission of the Army is to defend the nation’s borders against any external attack.
Security Mission
Based on the Lebanese Cabinet’s resolution in 1991, the Army was entrusted with the mission of keeping peace and stability at the internal scene side by side with the other security forces.
Development and Humanitarian Mission
The Army has persisted since its establishment in performing this mission and played a major role in building the country’s infrastructure and alleviating the suffering of citizens during crises and catastrophes.
