The opening ceremonies for People’s Military Service Training 18 were held yesterday at various military commands, and the commandants of the training depots delivered opening speeches.

The ceremonies were attended by the chairperson of the Nay Pyi Taw Council, chief ministers from various regions and states, commanders of the respective commands, and other officials. Trainees were presented with cash awards and essential items for recruits and offered encouragement and support.

The People’s Military Service Law was enacted because every citizen has a duty to safeguard Our Three Main National Causes: Non-disintegration of the Union, Non-disintegration of national solidarity, and Perpetuation of sovereignty. The law came into effect on 10 February 2024 to facilitate the organization of military training courses.

Those who have completed the People’s Military Service Training are now serving in various military units, fulfilling their responsibilities for national defence and security.
