He emphasized that mass mobilization is not secondary but a fundamental, long-term political task of the military, the responsibility of all officers and soldiers. Therefore, he urged building a strong contingent of mass mobilization officers with professional skills, practical experience, and influence among ethnic groups and religious communities, helping improve the quality and effectiveness of the movement.
