Five Aruban military servicemen were officially sworn in on July 9, 2026, during a ceremony at the Marine Barracks in Savaneta. The swearing-in marks an important milestone in their military careers within ARUMIL (Aruban Military Personnel).
The ceremony was attended by family members, colleagues, the Governor of Aruba, the Prime Minister of Aruba, the Commander of the Netherlands Forces in the Caribbean, and other invited guests.
Earlier this year, the five military servicemen successfully completed the Elementary Military Training (EMV) together with members of CURMIL (Curaçao Military Personnel). They subsequently completed the Guarding & Security (B&B) module, further preparing them for their duties within the Defense organization in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom.
Following their swearing-in, the military servicemen will continue serving within ARUMIL, where they will contribute to the security of Aruba and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The ceremony marks a special moment for both the military servicemen and their families. By taking the oath, they formally reaffirm their commitment to the Defense organization and to carrying out their military duties.
