DEPUTY Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Commander-in-Chief (Army) General Kyaw Swa Lin held a meeting with trainees and instructors of infantry platoon commander, company commander and commanding officer courses in Bahtoo Station yesterday afternoon.
On the occasion, the General said that as peace and stability of the State is important to uphold Our Three Main National Causes, which represent the country’s national interests and to build a Union system based on democracy and a federal system, it is required to train and enhance the capabilities of each Tatmadaw member to build a strong, firm, and highly capable Tatmadaw.
He continued that Myanmar is located at a geopolitical pivot, situated between two major powers with different political systems. Due to the historical background and geographic position, it is essential to firmly pursue a genuine, disciplined multiparty democratic system that reflects the will of the people and is appropriate for the country. It is also necessary to build a Union based on democracy and a federal system.
He added that to achieve this, national stability and peace are indispensable. Therefore, all Tatmadaw members must strive to enhance the capabilities of Tatmadaw so as to ensure national stability and peace, which are essential requirements for this process.
He underlined that military officers are required to remain loyal to the State and Tatmadaw. In addition, they must study and learn the history of the country and Tatmadaw.
The General stressed that Tatmadaw members must undergo continuous training to remain always ready for combat, without distinction between infantry and other branches. They must also continuously engage in reading and studying knowledge that is beneficial to them.
He highlighted that if each individual carries out their assigned duties with awareness and mindfulness, their work will be able to achieve success.
The General cordially greeted the trainees and inspected the trainee hostels. He coordinated with officials for systematic measures and maintenance of hostels for relevant training courses.
Also, present at the meeting were senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief, the commander of the Eastern Command and officials.
At the three-storey lecture hall of the Tatmadaw (Army) Combat Forces Training School (Bahtoo), the General heard reports on the training and four military building tasks by the commandants and the deputy commandants of the Tatmadaw (Army) Combat Forces Training School (Bahtoo), the Tatmadaw (Army) Officer Training School (Bahtoo) and the Tatmadaw (Army) Warrant Officer and Non-Commissioner Training School.
In response, the General instructed that instructors are required to train trainees with dedication when teaching military knowledge and skills, ensuring that they master the content thoroughly. They must also teach the trainees so that they become knowledgeable and skilled to the same level as the instructors’ own understanding, ability, and expertise, and fulfil the needs of the trainees. — MNA/TTA
