On Monday, 04 June 2018, within the framework of personnel welfare, a meeting was held in the Hellenic Army General Staff with the Personnel Support Office Liaison Officers of Major Army Commands – Formations. The purpose of the meeting was to review the work of the Personnel Support Offices and exchange views and proposals to increase their effectiveness in the future.

The Personnel Support Offices of HAGS and the Formations were established in March 2017, giving Army personnel the ability to immediately solve personal and service problems. Their purpose is not to bypass the chain of command, but rather to immediately deal with personnel problems which, due to their nature, are not within the abilities of the intermediate levels. Since their establishment, 545 personnel have contacted the Chief HAGS.
