Nay Pyi Taw September 19

Chairman of State Security and Peace Commission of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Commander-in-Chief of De-fence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, accompanied by senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief, inspected security measures in the area of Coastal Region Command headquarters, and met with families of the station.

The Senior General and party arrived at the command HQ, and heard a report on ongoing undertakings for security and stability in the command area, formation of people’s security forces for ensuring peace and stability, planned security arrangements for the successful holding of the election, welfare programs for officers, other ranks and families, presented by Command Commander Maj-Gen Kyaw Kyaw Han at the meeting hall.

In response, the Senior General gave guidance on taking effective security and stability measures in the command area, constant security measures along the coast and in territorial waters efficiently and constructively and other necessary measures.

Later, the Senior General held a meeting with officers, other ranks and families of Myeik Station in the command HQ at Taingyanaung hall.

Also present were Daw Kyu Kyu Hla, Senior General’s wife, Commander-in-Chief (Air) General Tun Aung and wife, senior military officers from Office of Commander-in-Chief and wives.

Efficient military units with healthy, fit and courageous soldiers

In his speech, the Senior General said the main duty of Tatmadaw is national defence that involves the duty to safeguard the lives and property of the people, natural resources of the country and Our Three Main National Causes. In order to shoulder the duty well, every soldier and unit must have full fighting ability and prowess. All soldiers joined the Tatmadaw of their own volition. Rank-wise and area-wise military training sessions are being conducted for every soldier to have the required qualifications.

To be fit and healthy, Tatma-dawmen must carry out the daily responsibilities without fail. Likewise, they must also undergo rank-wise training.

Individual soldiers need valour, courage to do what is to be done. Tatmadaw members joined the Tatmadaw to enjoy the life of a soldier. They need will and determination. In order to be skilled in handling their weapons, they must undergo constant training. In this way, they will have trust in their weapons. Hence, training sessions are being conducted for all the Tatmadaw men to be well train-ed. By applying their learned military science in their daily functions, all will become well-trained soldiers.

Four major tasks for developing unit structure

Four work programs have been adopted for structural development. Shouldering the daily duties in a correct way amounts to conducting structural development through training.

The sector of administration includes dress codes, and behavioral codes, and a unit will have ability and power only if its administrative system is good. Responsible persons are guiding the units with administrative functions, and the subordinates must observe them with individual conviction. Excellent administration and support are very much important for battle victory.

For the welfare of families, carrying out agriculture and livestock breeding tasks can contribute to food supplies of families. Refraining from drinking alcohol and enjoying worldly pleasures out of conscientious-ness can help individuals to be fit and healthy personnel. Only then, will one be able to perform national defence duties fully. Each and every individual is required to carry out duties out of conscientiousness.

By taking measures for good governance and welfare, the morale of personnel will be higher and thus emphasis must be placed on four primary building duties of the Tatmadaw.

Promoting education and nurturing good personnel

In connection with the education of Tatmadaw families, personnel are required to nurture their children to be educated ones. Efforts must be made to enable them to pass at least middle school and to continue to study at agriculture and live-stock breeding high schools. As efforts are made for higher education standards of their children, personnel are required to read books consistently. Reading articles on health, education, agriculture and live-stock breeding and knowledge sharing and discussions will lead to physical and mental development of individual personnel. As today is the age of media, individual personnel are required to use social media networks conscientiously to prevent actions that can harm oneself and one’s organization and responsible officers are re-quired to supervise personnel.

Measures must be taken to improve defence capabilities to protect the country. Personnel are urged to make concerted efforts to build themselves as good personnel to make progress for the country and the Tatmadaw and to leave a good reputation for the Tatmadaw.

Then, the Senior General presented foodstuffs officers, other ranks and families of the station to the regional command commander while the wife of the Senior General presented cash awards for the Maternal and Child Welfare Association of the station to the wife of the commander.

After the meeting the Senior General, his wife and party cordially greeted the officers, other ranks and families.

Then, the Senior General proceeded to the defence services hospital of the station and inquired about injuries and recovery of individual officers and other ranks, who sustained injuries during their performance of national defence and security duties of the country. The Senior General spoke words of sympathy for them and attended to the needs reported by them.

Afterward, the Senior General asked about the needs of the hospital and fulfilled the requirements.

Similarly, the wife of the Senior General cordially inquired about the health of families of officers and other ranks, who were receiving medical treatments at the hospital, and spoke words of sympathy for them one by one before giving foodstuffs for them.

Then, the Senior General and party inspected the station by car.
