According to the 2008 Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, it stipulates that every citizen has the duty to safeguard independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, and the individuals who voluntarily and enthusiastically enlisted for military service have been recruited and trained in batches, and are now serving in various battalions and units.Ceremonies to honour members of the People’s Military Service Batch 1/2024 who had fulfilled their duties were also held at different military commands and allowed them to return to their families and native towns.During their returns, these servicemen, who fulfilled their duties as responsible citizens and as capable soldiers, were warmly and proudly welcomed not only by their families but also by local communities. In respective townships, wards, and villages, they were received with ceremonial flowers, traditional musical ensembles, and lively celebrations. Scenes of these homecoming events, showing pride, joy, and emotional reunions with family members, have been widely shared on social media platforms.During their service, these good citizens who are also soldiers carried out defence and security duties assigned by the government and Tatmadaw. They also participated in rescue and relief operations during natural disasters, working selflessly together with the permanent military personnel and fulfilling their responsibilities with dedication.Therefore, the government and Tatmadaw have systematically managed for these servicemen to receive their entitled benefits during their service period, including salaries, rations, and other support. Moreover, upon completion of their service, efforts are being made to assist them in securing employment. Relevant authorities are coordinating with domestic and overseas employment working committees to help place them in jobs of their choice in accordance with set criteria. — MNA/KTZHgnlm
