Three generals are vying for the post of National Security Council (NSC) secretary-general. If any are successful, the one who gets the post would be the fifth military top brass to serve in the top position, says a Defence Ministry source.
The issue is being considered as the military reshuffle lists are being prepared and brought up for vetting by the reshuffle committee to be jointly attended by Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and armed forces commanders early next month.
Awaiting Gen Prayut s decision is the new NSC secretary-general who will succeed the incumbent, Gen Natthapol Nakpanich, who concurrently heads the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration s (CCSA) operations centre.
