President Leonel Fernandez continued his hectic pace of filling the jobs to be vacated by the PRD faithful. In 43 decrees that range from numbers 943 to 986, he placed assistant prosecutors and district attorneys for most of the country.

Fernandez also placed a few more generals in retirement, among them Rafael Ramirez Vidal and Steylo Luciano Sanchez, along with Colonel Fausto Tiburcio Batista. The Batalla de las Carreras military academy was also given a new director. Colonel Luis Ramon Payan Arache was promoted to the rank of general for the new job and so was Colonel Antonio Jaquez Lopez, as the new director of the General Juan Pablo Duarte Military Institute for Higher Education. Another academic appointment went to the newly-promoted General Gilberto Santiago Delgado, who was named director of the Institute for Higher Defense and National Security Studies.
