REVEALED: Pm to meet top brass over reshuffle | Rare Historical Photos

Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will meet with military top brass at the end of this month to discuss the upcoming annual reshuffle, which will see new chiefs of the navy and air force appointed, according to a Defence Ministry source.

The meeting, the source said, was to be attended by the commanders of the three branches of the military and the deputy defence minister, but may have to be postponed, or chaired instead by Deputy Defence Minister Chaichan Changmongkol, if the Constitutional Court decides to suspend Gen Prayut pending a ruling on his term limit.

The upcoming reshuffle will see a changing of the guard in the navy and the air force as the current chiefs, Adm Somprasong Nilsamai and ACM Napadej Dhuphtemiya, will retire at the end of September.
