The commanders of Thailand’s Second and Third Army Regions visited the Thai-Cambodian border on Sunday to inspect troop deployments, assess the security situation and pay tribute to soldiers who died protecting the country’s sovereignty.
Lt. Gen. Weerayut Raksilp, commander of the Second Army Region, and Lt. Gen. Worathep Boonya, commander of the Third Army Region, visited operational areas at Ta Muen Thom temple, Ta Kwai temple and Hill 350, where troops from the Third Army Region have been deployed to support security operations under the Second Army Region.
The commanders received briefings on the latest situation, monitored ongoing operations and met troops stationed along the border, including personnel from the Thailand Mine Action Center (TMAC) under the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters.
During the visit, Lt. Gen. Worathep told troops their mission was vital to Thailand’s national security and urged them to remain prepared, carry out their duties with determination and continue safeguarding the country’s sovereignty.
Following the inspection, the two commanders and senior officers laid wreaths at memorials at Hill 350 and Ta Kwai temple in honour of soldiers who lost their lives while carrying out their duties. The ceremony included a moment of silence to pay tribute to their sacrifice.
The visit formed part of the army’s ongoing efforts to monitor the security situation, support frontline personnel and maintain operational readiness along the Thai-Cambodian border.
