Effective Administration, Welfare Enhance Tatmadaw Members’ Capabilities

Tatmadaw members have voluntarily joined Tatmadaw without any external persuasion, driven by a genuine desire to serve the country’s defence and security, said State Security and Peace Commission Vice- Chairman, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services, and Commander-in-Chief (Army) Vice-Senior General Soe Win at the meeting with Tatmadaw members and families of Kalaw Station at the hall of the local battalion yesterday morning.

Senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief who accompanied the Vice-Senior General discussed functions of offices and departments, office works of regiments and units, workguidelines, orders and directives for general staff, adjutant and quartermaster measures, military law matters and training sessions.

In his speech, the Vice-Senior General noted that to maintain the Tatmadaw’s strength, the senior leadership works diligently to provide what is necessary to ensure the force remains capable and robust regardless of changes in political governments.

He stressed that regarding the administrative measures, relevant commandants have to fairly manage officers, other ranks and families of regiments and units with supplies of necessary logistic measures through the commander’s spirit. Proper administration and welfare can improve the capability of Tatmadaw members automatically.

The Vice-Senior General underscored that Tatmadaw members are expected to diligently fulfil any duties entrusted to them for the perpetuation of the State’s sovereignty and to courageously overcome any challenges encountered along the way.

He added that Tatmadaw members must correctly apply the military skills they have learnt during operations and security duties and make full and effective use of the arms, ammunition and accessories. Only by doing so will they be able to protect and safeguard the lives, homes, and well-being of the people effectively.

Furthermore, the Vice-Senior General explained political changes of the State, saying that the Tatmadaw, in response to irregularities that occurred during the 2020 multiparty democratic general elections, took State responsibilities in accordance with the Constitution (2008). The free, fair and credible multiparty democratic general election in three phases, reflecting the will of the people, was successfully held starting 28 December 2025. Since the elections were successfully held, preparations are being made to convene the Hluttaw in the near future. The Government, along with the regions and states, is making preparations for convening these sessions. Hluttaw sessions will be convened in March, and in early April, a new President will be elected, a new government will be formed, and the responsibilities of the State will be formally transferred.

The Vice-Senior General explained that if Tatmadaw systematically expands military-owned and manageable-scale agriculture and livestock farms for the welfare of Tatmadaw members, these will contribute much to life of families.

Moreover, he urged Tatmadaw members to read good literature for the improvement of their lives. Due to existing educational shortcomings, Tatmadaw is making efforts not only to improve the education of the children of Tatmadaw members’ families but also to raise the educational level of the Tatmadaw members themselves.

After the meeting, the Vice-Senior General coordinated the reports of individual Tatmadaw members and families with officials to fulfil their needs.

He presented foodstuffs to officers, other ranks and families and his wife, Daw Than Than Nwe, cash awards to the maternal and child welfare association through officials. The Vice-Senior General and party cordially greeted the Tatmadaw members and families.
