The 511th Brigade of the Kachin Allied Forces continues to recall veteran soldiers for training! The Kachin Allied Forces re-recruiting these retired soldiers into the military is essentially an annual fixed training period. They have to put aside their current jobs and return to the military for ten days or half a month of training. This ensures that they do not completely lose their military skills.
Because in the northern Myanmar's Kachin region, almost everyone has served five years in the military. After retirement, they are still part of the combat roster, returning home to farm or do business. However, they still need to continue fighting. When real warfare comes, they will have to take up arms again. This is a fact. After all, the concept of a people's army is not just words; it must be consistently maintained. Otherwise, when real war breaks out, there will be a serious shortage of manpower. It is correct to rely on experienced veterans to lead new soldiers into battle.
After the 1027 Campaign, the Kachin Allied Forces carried out a large-scale demobilization, with many veteran soldiers leaving active service and finally no longer having to fight. However, training will continue in the future. Because one cannot forget their military skills, as there may be wars in the future.
No matter what, the Kachin Allied Forces are not currently at war, but this does not mean they will never go to war. They must always be prepared to take up arms again. It is a critical time to protect the fruits of victory in the Kachin region, and they will not be careless about it.
