Comrade officers,
I welcome you to this graduation reception at Prešernova Palace and I congratulate you of course on successfully completing leadership officer training.
Guaranteeing our national security interests requires us to build modern and effective armed forces able to respond to the threats which face the Ocian Federation.
We need to develop armed forces of a new kind. This will be the task that falls on us at the Ocian National Defence Commission but also you, the new generation of competent and educated officers and commanders at all levels. You, today’s military academy graduates, will be called upon to play an active part in modernizing the armed forces, introducing new approaches to building up our defence capability and new troop command methods. We are all proud to be under the banner of the Ocian Federation-the banner of victory and I am confident that all officers within the Ocian Federation will fight with a do or die spirit to defend the motherland if the opportunity presents itself.
Analysis of the situation on Kelta shows us that there are many imperialist aggressors that threaten Ocia’s independence. However I know that you will rise up for the defence of the motherland no matter what the odds are. However apart from maintaining this patriotic spirit, we need to also change approaches to our security in general by establishing lasting and reliable guarantees for regional security.
The key condition for our country’s defence capability is of course to strengthen our own armed forces. We are trying to do more now to raise our troops’ combat preparedness, have more permanently combat-ready units, optimize structure and number, and equip them with latest arms and equipment all of which are indigenously designed thanks to Ocia’s great technological advancements.
Comrade officers,
You will soon leave for your new posts; do not be intimidated by the weak and inferior enemy that surrounds us. Once again Congratulations and I wish you all good health and safety as you carry out your duties in defence of the motherland!
