Army educates new recruits on correct usage of social media

Army spokesperson Lt-General Santiphong Thampiya said new Army chief General Narongphan Jitkaewtae’s policy is that military units be able to communicate via several channels, especially through online media to improve work and keep up to date with ongoing situations.

“Social media has a great influence on society and is part of people’s daily lives, so it is necessary to create awareness of its correct usage among military officers, especially during rescue operations and in relation to communication between commanders and their subordinates,” he said.
