- Fourth Army Region Commander Visits Mobile Operations Unit – Emphasizes Proactive Area Control, Force Protection, and Support for Vulnerable Communities
⌛️ On August 3, 2025 at 10:00 AM, Lieutenant General Paisan Nusang, Commander of the Fourth Army Region and Director of Internal Security Operations Command Region 4, conducted a field visit to inspect the operations of the Mobile Tactical Operations Unit under the 4511th Ranger Company, Special Task Force of the 45th Ranger Regiment, in Rangae District, Narathiwat Province.
During the visit, the Commander offered moral support to personnel deployed in high-risk areas and convened a meeting with unit commanders and the forward administrative staff of the Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 to jointly assess and monitor the ongoing security situation in the region.
In the meeting, the Commander emphasized two key strategic priorities:
The implementation of proactive area control measures, and
The ex*****on of the Force Protection Plan.
He underscored that operational units must not limit their role to defensive surveillance alone but should actively contribute to comprehensive security initiatives — including intelligence gathering, patrolling, and the creation of safe zones in cooperation with local communities.
A critical point highlighted by the Commander was:
“If our personnel are not adequately prepared or are harmed first, then who will be left to protect our people?”
This remark clearly reflected his belief that the foundation of sustainable public safety lies in the preparedness and security of operational personnel. Officers must remain vigilant, thoughtful, and cautious in their duties to ensure that their missions are carried out effectively and without interruption.
The Commander also expressed concern for vulnerable groups, particularly children, the elderly, Thai Buddhists, and all civilians living in high-risk areas. He described this concern as central to humanitarian-oriented security operations.
He further directed all units to engage with and communicate clearly with local populations using language that is familiar and accessible, especially regional Thai dialects, which are essential for building trust and bridging the gap between the state and the people.
This field visit reflects the clear intent of military leadership in the region — that security operations must never neglect the human dimension, especially in a multi-cultural society. The overarching goal is to make people feel secure not only physically but also emotionally, and to reinforce their confidence that the military is truly by their side.
