Newly-promoted General Jagath Jayasuriya said that future commanders should be well-prepared and ready to take any challenges while working for a common goal to achieve best results.

Addressing all senior officers, including Principal Staff Officers, Security Force Commanders, Directors, General Officers Commanding and Brigade Commanders at the Army Headquarters soon after his promotion to the rank of General, the Army Commander wanted everyone to maintain the standards and quality, hitherto attained by all serving the organization.

“Discipline in the Army should remain a top priority at all times and this should be maintained uninterruptedly, the Commander said to the packed audience.”

He also said that more and more opportunities in UN assignments and foreign training courses will be increased for officers, thereby creating better exposures of the Army to foreign destinations in the future.
