Major General J.K.R Jayakody RWP USP assumed duties as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 58 Infantry Division amidst religious blessings and military formalities at the 58 Division Headquarters on 26 September 2024.
The newly-appointed GOC of the 58 Division was warmly welcomed by Staff Officers and saluted in a Guard Turnout, presented by troops as he entered the premises before a Guard of Honour extended honours to him.
In his new office, the new GOC afterwards symbolically signed an official document to mark the assumption of his duties after the religious observances. Soon after adding memories for the day, the new GOC was invited to plant a sapling in the premises before he posed for a few group photographs.
After a while, in line with military formalities he addressed all Officers and Other Ranks where he expressed his vision for the Division in future. An All-Rank tea culminated the day's agenda.
Senior Officers, Officers and Other Ranks were present during the day's event.
