Royal Thai Navy officers and Buddhist monks wished more than 300
troops well before their deployment to strife-torn provinces in the
south.
Rear Adm. Luechai Ruddit, commander of the Air and Coastal Defense
Command, presided over departure ceremony for 10 armed units of 304
conscripts Sept. 22.
Five venerated monks from the east performed religious ceremonies. The
monks also presented the Prince Chumphon coin to troops to protect them
from weapons, sharp objects and danger while on duty.
Being dispatched are the Narathiwat Airport Security unit, ACDC units
451, 452, 491, 412, 321, the Koh Kood Operations Unit, water-motion
testers of the Koh Miang and the radar unit for ocean inspection at
Chanthaburi and Trat.
Luechai gave souvenirs to and congratulated sailors for representing the
military in carrying out special operations and instructed them to
perform their duties with strict obedience to the commander’s commands,
be strong, patient, disciplined and come back safely.
