They were also urged to review, adjust, and promptly supplement contents of combat readiness plans for election security in line with realities, especially newly-arising issues. Moreover, they should coordinate and implement effective measures to counter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations and other airborne means to ensure absolute safety for the election. Additionally, comprehensive measures must be implemented to manage and protect the border, sea, and islands. Control should be strengthened to promptly detect and prevent illegal cross-border infiltration.
They should also grasp troops’ thought, especially that of recruits; strengthen internal political protection; intensify information dissemination activities about the election; and ensure absolute safety for personnel, weapons and technical equipment before, during, and after the election.
