The Islamic Emirate late Monday announced 38 new members of the caretaker government, in military and civil positions. 

The new recruitments include a political deputy for the prime minister, acting minister for the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled, deputy ministers, and commanders of corps. 

In the meantime, the Islamic Emirate’s officials at the cultural commission said they believe that hiring experienced military people will be the first step to forming a powerful army in Afghanistan. 

“We are forming a powerful army. Introducing corps’ leadership is the first step forward,” said Rohullah Omar, a member of the cultural commission. 

In the new list, the names of Afghanistan’s military corps have changed. Now "Mazar corps" is mentioned instead of Afghanistan’s 209 Shaheen Corps. 

“We hope the new army can defend Afghanistan’s territorial integrity and respond to any possible movements by enemies and forces opposed to the current government,” said Mohammad Sadeq Shinwari, a former military figure.
