Forced rebalancing framed as sovereign state-building
Which government body can receive weapons, take operational capabilities, and enforce restrictions?
Complete integration into state forces, eliminating parallel command
Contested: individual integration vs. intact units
Shrink PMF to levels the Commander-in-Chief can realistically control
Eases budget burden + command manageability
Preserve PMF structure but sever party links; brigades report to military officers
Seen as most politically achievable
Militia leaders transition to politics post-absorption (Hadi al-Amiri / Badr precedent)
