Ministry of Defense 14 November 2006 | 13:00

The Ministry of Defense of the Confederal Government welcomes each provincial federation's Head Coordinator for Defense to its headquarters. We are honored to host the inter-provincial mediation regarding the recent disagreement regarding the future of the Red Service, which has come under scrutiny. The Republic Thai Armed Forces is a unified military strength of all communes inside the Socialist Republic of Thailand. The Ministry of Defense is committed to reaffirming this inviolable truth as all provinces seek to readjust the structure of our confederation’s armed militia.

The Ministry of Defense will mediate this inter-provincial disagreement, which stemmed from calls toward downsizing of the Republic Thai Army and decommissioning of technologically outdated military equipment and naval vessels. The Federation of Workers’ Councils’ recent summit concluded in a renewed call for increased infrastructure investment spending. This agreement is a direct reason why several provincial federations have considered restructuring the Red Service as a measure to decrease the overall expenditure and increase resource allocation flexibility. Alternatively, some have opposed this suggestion and argued that external threats remain paramount.

The Committee on the Armed Forces of the National Assembly has submitted a draft new structure of the Red Service to the Republic Thai Armed Forces Headquarters for the military’s advisory opinions. Following the successful mediation of the inter-provincial disagreement by the Ministry of Defense last week, confederal coordinators have assumed responsibility for a complete military restructuring. According to a summarized document, the proposed Red Service’s structure would cut more than 68 percent of all active servicemembers from their duties. They would enroll in vocational or academic training to contribute to building greater productive capacities toward a post-scarcity economy.

The Red Service’s spokeswoman confirmed they have received the draft document and the military leadership is reviewing it rigorously. She revealed that the Republic Army would relieve most soldiers, but the new structure would completely mechanize or motorize the remaining units, ensuring unprecedented mobility. Additionally, the Republic Air Force would face minimal changes to its inventory, other than a complete overhaul of its operational doctrine. Furthermore, the Republic Navy would scrap many outdated vessels and prepare for a more technologically integrated fleet, focusing on quality over quantity in its blue water operations. However, the Coast Guard would continue its quantitative doctrine for constant awareness.
