A degraded
forest in Sukhothai could serve as a staging ground for large-scale military
training drills, the Defence Ministry said.
Ministry
spokesman Thanathip Sawangsaeng said certain areas in Ban Dan Lan Hoi district,
where the 3rd Army's training camp is situated, could be used for the drills as
expansion of the military's training ground into those areas would have the
least impact on villagers.
Col
Thanathip was speaking after a meeting of the Defence Council, chaired by
Defence Minister and Air Chief Marshal Sukumpol Suwanatat.
The ministry
wants a larger ground for joint military training, especially drills for the
air force, which lacks an area for live ammunition training.
Some areas
in Ban Dan Lan Hoi district are also being eyed as a new training area for the
Singaporean military, a source said.
Singapore
has leased the training ground at Sai Yok army camp in Kanchanaburi, but needs
a larger area as it may need to use live ammunition.
