Chiang Mai - In order to facilitate a smooth transfer of officers within the Burmese military – Tatmadaw – the authorities will soon implement a new programme, known as the 3-P programme, sources in the military said.

According to the new programme, officers till the age 36 and who continue to remain in the rank of captain, would be transferred to the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA), Royal Police, and the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The 3-P refers to the USDA, Royal Police and the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Officers, who were transferred to the USDA, would be assigned as officer in-charge of the Township Police, while those transferred to the Royal Police would be made in-charge of security of government offices, such as the Parliament building.

However, for those transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs, they would be transferred as per the police department’s rules and regulations.
