Military Service Training: Military Service Training Course batch (19) opened

Qualified citizens who will participate in the People's Military Service Training Course No. (19), to serve State defense and security duties have arrived at their respective training depots in the regional command areas and completed necessary preparatory measures.

In the morning on November 17, the opening ceremonies for the People's Military Service Training Course No. (19), were held at these respective training depots. At the opening ceremonies, the commandants of each training depot delivered opening addresses.

The opening ceremonies were attended by the Chairman of the Nay Pyi Taw Council, Region and State Chief Ministers, Regional Commanders, and officials. They met with the trainees of the People's Military Service Training Course No. (19), presented them with honorary cash awards, food items, and utility supplies, and toured the venues to greet and encourage the trainees.

Every citizen has the duty to uphold the Three Main National Causes: non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of national solidarity, and perpetuation of sovereignty. To enable the fulfillment of these duties, the People's Military Service Law was enacted and came into force on February 10, 2024, with the aim of providing military training and enabling citizens to undertake the State's defense responsibilities.

People's Military Service training courses have since been opened. The qualified citizens who have graduated from these People's Military Service training courses are now diligently and successfully performing State defense and security duties in their assigned regiments/units.
