The Ghana Armed Forces will begin selling application forms for its 2026/2027 enlistment exercise on Thursday, September 3, targeting degree holders and above.

The GAF confirmed the enlistment timeline in a Facebook post on Monday, August 31, opening the exercise exclusively to applicants holding a first degree or higher qualifications. Interested candidates must purchase an E-Voucher priced at GH¢200 from any post office nationwide starting September 3, marking the formal entry point into the recruitment process.

The Armed Forces flagged a recurring risk facing recruitment cycles, warning the public to be alert to scammers who may falsely claim to have links to the Armed Forces or offer to secure enlistment in exchange for money.

Applicants were advised to verify all recruitment information through the GAF's official platforms and avoid dealing with unauthorised individuals or sources, a directive aimed squarely at protecting prospective recruits from fraud during the application window.

Enlistment scams tend to resurface whenever the GAF opens a new recruitment cycle, with fraudsters exploiting public interest in military careers to solicit money from hopeful applicants. By publicising the official E-Voucher price and sales channel in advance, the Armed Forces is aiming to close the gap that such scammers typically exploit. The GAF said further details on the enlistment process would continue to be communicated exclusively through its verified channels.
