COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of Defence Services General Ye Win Oo met Tatmad­aw members and families of Kengtung Station at the Pyi Nyein Aye Hall of the Triangle Region Command on 22 April and held separate meetings with Tatmadaw members and families of Mongkhat and Mongyang stations at the hall of Mongkhat Station yesterday afternoon.

Speaking on the occasion, the General stressed that leaders of relevant military units have to be a model in disciplined lifestyle and systematically control the sub­ordinates. If so, all will be good Tatmadaw members on whom the people rely.

The General noted that all Tatmadaw members are responsible for continuously preserving the fine traditions of Tatmad­aw. Tatmadaw has to primarily serve the defence duty of the State and try hard to improve its combat power and combat capability. As such, they have to strictly follow the motto: ‘study, practise and com­ply’ to become healthy and fit Tatmadaw members to be able to apply the military techniques skillfully.

He pointed out that Tatmadaw mem­bers need to constantly study changing military warfare and military equipment and apply them on the battlefield. They have to strive to become capable military units reliable to the people.

The General emphasized that the administrative capability is of great im­portance in Tatmadaw as it plays a key role in achieving success in military op­erations, security and training measures. Only when individuals completely manage administrative measures will they carry out welfare tasks for Tatmadaw members effectively.

The Defence Services Command­er-in-Chief underscored that leadership is very important as Tatmadaw is an in­stitution with a chain of command. Hence, it is necessary to submit correct reports at different levels, and officials need to take correct actions over the reports of subordinates.

He underlined that Tatmadaw always emphasizes the supplies for basic needs of Tatmadaw members and families, and other general requirements, in addition to giving necessary awards and welfare measures to Tatmadaw members.

The General continued that Tatmad­aw is carrying out the promotion of edu­cational qualifications not only of offspring of Tatmadaw members but also of those Tatmadaw members. As such, officials and parents need to emphasize education

promotion of Tatmadaw members and chil­dren. All offspring of Tatmadaw members have to try hard to complete at least the KG+9 level.

He highlighted that as Tatmadaw mem­bers take the four-point oath, they have to serve the 24-hour duties under orders and duties, and they need to diligently serve their duties by applying the experiences of military training.
