The Cabinet approved more than Bt2 billion yesterday from a secret budget to establish two new divisions, one of infantry and one of cavalry, to serve in the North and Northeast regions.
The cavalry division of tanks is to be placed in the Northeastern province of Khon Kaen and will be the unit’s third such division. Its establishment was inspired by Privy Council President General Prem Tinsulanonda, who was a cavalry officer, a source said.
The new division of tanks will be a supportive unit for the Second Army Region serving along the northeastern border with Cambodia and Laos.
