About this statute

This article establishes a special statute for the Rwanda Defence Force and says retired career soldiers are entitled to guarantee fund benefits and a supplementary pension. This Order applies only to Rwanda Defence Force members; reservists are excluded unless they are called upon. This article defines several terms used in the Order, including RDF, dependent, discipline, discount shopping, dismissal, funeral expenses, gross salary, rescission of contract, and retirement.

Specialized civilians may be hired on contract for specialized non-military duties, and they are subject to military rules and regulations under their contract.
