Military Infrastructure Boost: Chanegriha Launches ANP into New Era

General d’Armée Saïd Chanegriha, Defense Minister Delegate and People’s National Army (ANP) Chief of Staff, chaired the annual meeting of the Central Directorate for Military Infrastructure cadres this Saturday the Military Engineering and Infrastructure Development Center (CMIDI) of the 1st Military Region in Hussein Dey, Algiers.

In his address, Chanegriha praised the pivotal role of military facilities in bolstering operational readiness and troop welfare. “Guided by the President of the Republic, this sector has elevated our army’s capabilities through cutting-edge operational and social infrastructure, vastly improving living conditions for our personnel,” he stated.

He highlighted a qualitative leap in recent years, marked by landmark projects like military hospitals, social amenities, and barracks for combat units—showcasing the staff’s expertise and dedication.

Review of Progress and Plans

The session featured a rundown of 2025-2026 initiatives and ongoing construction updates across the ANP. Chanegriha inspected technical gear demos, upcoming projects, toured the facilities, and signed the center’s golden registry—a nod to exemplary standards.

Top ANP brass attended, including the Land Forces commander, Defense Ministry Secretary-General, force commanders, Republican Guard and National Gendarmerie chiefs, ministry protocol director, 1st Military Region head, and General Staff department leads.
