MILITARY leaders must be capable of making correct decisions with sound judgement, courage and composure, said Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services General Ye Win Oo at the meeting with instructors and cadets as well as post-graduate trainees from the Defence Services Academy and the Defence Services Technological Academy and Tatmadaw members from the military station at the convocation hall of DSA yesterday afternoon.
In giving instructions, the General underlined that as discipline is the backbone of the Tatmadaw, maintaining good discipline will make a good serviceman, and when good servicemen come together, they will form a disciplined Tatmadaw.
He noted that leadership skills are extremely important. Only those who have first become good followers, possessing obedience to orders and strong military discipline, can become capable and effective leaders when they assume leadership positions.
In terms of administration, the General outlined that personnel must be commanded and managed fairly and impartially, without discrimination or favouritism, and administration must not be carried out inconsistently or selectively. As far as possible, the right person should be assigned to the right position, and administrative and logistical support matters must be handled accurately and promptly.
He stated that military leaders must be capable of making correct decisions with sound judgment, courage and composure. Military leaders need to possess physical and mental capabilities, as well as the ability to think, make sound decisions and formulate strategies.
The General underscored that instructors must be fully competent, and it is important to recognize that the quality of trainees will depend on the capabilities of their instructors. Just as officers must be provided with a sound academic education to develop their intellectual and mental capabilities, they must also be trained in military skills to a level at which they can perform the duties of a platoon commander. Regardless of the unit in which they serve, they must be prepared on their own side to be capable of combat operations like infantry units.
The General recognized and praised Tatmadaw members from various units in the PyinOoLwin Station who have performed their operations and security duties with dedication and courage during times of security emergencies, fulfilling their responsibilities in the true spirit of military service without distinction based on their assigned duties.
After the meeting, the General and his wife and party cordially greeted the instructors, cadets, post-graduate trainees, and other Tatmadaw members.
Also present at the meeting were Daw Nilar, the wife of the General, senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief, the commander of the Central Command, commandants and officials. — MNA/ TTA
