9 MAY 2026

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of Defence Services General Ye Win Oo yesterday afternoon held a meeting with Tatmadaw members and families of the Office of the Commander-in-Chief (Army) at Zeyathiri Beikman in Nay Pyi Taw.

 

Speaking on the occasion, the General said that training is of great importance, and obedience, which is the lifeblood and essence of military personnel, is rooted in training, and discipline, together with obedience, are defining characteristics of a good soldier.

 

Graduation qualification standards are important because they play a key role in duty assignments. As they also have an impact on the organizations being commanded, training depots need to assess and designate Tatmadaw members according to the correct qualifications.

 

Leadership in administration is also important because poor leadership can weaken the trust and confidence of subordinates and harm unity within Tatmadaw. Before taking disciplinary action or imposing punishment on subordinates, careful consideration and thorough assessment are required. Undesirable errors in judgment can cause harm to the individuals concerned as well as losses for Tatmadaw.

 

Matters that can be forgiven should be understood, forgiven, guided and corrected accordingly. However, offences related to financial matters, social misconduct and narcotic drugs are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated.

 

Starting from the 2026-27 academic year, the Tatmadaw Youth Education Schools will be opened in Nay Pyi Taw and Yangon to provide high school education to the trainees. Tatmadaw will help students who have a good transition of learning grade and qualification in line with the criteria of the Ministry of Education attend universities, institutes, Tatmadaw medical training courses and computer diploma Sergeant/ Clerk courses.

 

People’s military service personnel are individuals who are dutifully serving the nation in times of need with the qualities of good citizens, and they deserve recognition, gratitude and honour. Necessary arrangements have also been made to provide employment opportunities for those who have faithfully fulfilled their duties, and appropriate benefits and entitlements have been awarded to them.

 

In addition, there are also individuals who, of their own volition, have chosen to continue serving in Tatmadaw because they wish to carry on undertaking national defence and security duties, and they are warmly welcomed. Therefore, responsible officials need to guide and work together with these people’s military service personnel with the spirit of a father, brothers and comradesin-arms.

 

The Defence Services Commander-in-Chief fulfilled the requirements of Tatmadaw members and families.

 

Also, present at the meeting were Daw Nilar, the wife of the Defence Services Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Commander-in-Chief (Army) General Kyaw Swa Lin and his wife, Commander-in-Chief (Navy) Admiral Htein Win and his wife, Commander-in-Chief (Air) Lt-Gen Tun Win and his wife, Chief of the General Staff (Army, Navy and Air) Lt-Gen Ko Ko Oo and his wife, and officials. — MNA/TTA
