Discipline and respect of hierarchy are core military principles, a unique condition critical to operational success that sets the military apart from the rest of society. Brigardier General Nka Valère, commander of the 5th Joint Military Region, while on inspection visit in Menchum Division, called on his troops to respect their hierarchy and be disciplined so as to avoid careless lost of their comrades.
Speaking at The Headquarters of the 53rd Motorised Infantry Battalion in Wum Menchum Division, the Army Chief reminded soldiers that "Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak and esteem to all."
The Commander's inspection visit, was also to galvanize the troops on the battle field. He called on them to be steadfast in their mission and not to be discouraged by what is said on the social media. To him, what is said on the social media is aimed at destabilising, demoralizing, destroying and even dividing the forces so as to weaken them. He cited the sad incident of Ngar-buh in Donga Mantung Division as an attempt to weaken the military in its mission to protect the fatherland. He left Wum to Nkambe for a similar exercise.
