Forced volunteers for Burmese army
The Burmese Armys Strategic Commands will supervise civil servants and villagers who recently completed military training
The Burmese Army’s Strategic Commands will supervise
civil servants and villagers who recently completed military training, said
a local source in Mon State.
The Strategic Command will divide the trainees into 8 groups held under its command and will use them for various purposes including assisting in the BA’s military operations. They will be stationed in the branch of BA’s local Strategic Commands in every Township.
On a rotational basis, about 30 trainees must volunteer under the supervision of the local Command for a one week period with the army battalion in the area to participate in launching military offensives; overseeing security in the area; working on construction projects; and, cooking for troops on the frontline. After one week, another group of 30 trainees would be called in as replacements, reported the local source.
Trainees are divided into 8 groups as (1) local militia; (2) information collecting; (3) public relations; (4) logistics; (5) relief and resettlement; (6) transportation; (7) construction, and (8) entertainment group, all under the structure of coordination with the local Strategic Commands.
The BA is planning to recruit the wives of policemen for attending the next training section, as they need more volunteers to reach the targeted quota.
Trainees were taught 24 types of arm equipping techniques in basic military training and will continue on with additional management training after forming cell groups among themselves.
