rooster59 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Armed Forces reshuffle lists delayed as top brass skip breakfast meeting with Prawit By The Nation The commanders-in-chief will submit reshuffle lists of their armed forces staff to Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan next week, Army chief General Chalermchai Sitthisart said on Saturday. It was initially speculated that the Army chief, Navy chief, Air Force chief, the supreme commander and the permanent secretary for the Defence Ministry would hand over their reshuffle lists to Prawit during a breakfast meeting on Saturday morning. Prawit had breakfast with some top brass at the Thai Conservation of Forests Foundation, housed in the First Infantry Regiment Royal Guards facilities. But several military leaders did not turn up for the meeting as they were on foreign trips. Chalermchai was the only commander-in-chief to eat breakfast with the Deputy PM and Defence minister. Chalermchai said he did not submit his Army reshuffle list to Prawit and the junta number two had given an extension allowing for submission of the lists next week. Prawit has yet to call a meeting of the Defence Ministry committee in charge of finalising the reshuffling list for all armed forces. The committee needed to consider the transfers among military agencies. The final list is expected to be completed within this month for Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha to submit for a Royal command. Sources said this year’s reshuffle is crucial as key commanding posts would be vacant and refilled, including the posts of Army chief, Army chief of staff, Army Area 1 commander and Army Area 3 commander. It has been speculated that deputy permanent secretary General Nat Intharacharoen is being shifted to the new permanent secretary, while assistant Army chief General Apirat Kongsompong is being touted as the new Army chief.

colinneil Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Armed forces reshuffle has been delayed due to the brown envelopes being to light. The delay is to give applicants more time to stuff more money in the envelopes.? Edited August 4, 2018 by colinneil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lungstib Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 Can any reader ever remember seeing a similar story from Germany, Holland, Sweden, UK, France, Spain or Finland? This is what you get when the military expands its role to 'internal security', ie. political control. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crucial to whom ? In deciding who gets what and how much ? It is a military that is self obsessed with its own well being and has little time for the people it is suppose to protect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BestB Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 The way I read it is armed forces chiefs have little to no respect for the leaders for whatever reason. If I had to guess I would say there is a lot more than they were all overseas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
