Gen. Jagath Jayasuriya.          In parallel to the civilian resettlement drive, the Army plans to          raise two fresh battalions to the Engineering regiment. And since the          areas where the permanent new Army bases are to be located in the North          have already been demarcated, these camps will be established by next          month with prefabricated buildings imported from China.          Gen. Sarath Fonseka made a visit to the Wanni on Friday (21) and          checked the forward lines there. The C D S and the Army Commander toured          Jaffna on August 15 on an observation tour. Gen. Fonseka had indicated          to the Commanders of the security forces that the resettlement should be          done after carefully separating the civilians from the terrorists.          Meanwhile Air Chief Marshall Roshan Gunatillake made a tour of Iranamadu          and Mullaitivu and observed the new Air Force camps erected there.          A passing out parade of the Air Force officer and other ranks          recruits was attended by the Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on          Friday as the chief guest, with the participation of the Commander of          the Air Force Chief Air Marshal Roshan Gunatillake. Here 329 airmen, six          pilots and sixteen officers passed out.          The chief guest Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa was quoted as          saying “We have the best Air Force in the world because we were able to          achieve much with limited resources, and show the world what we are made          of and say it with lots of pride”           The intelligence services have been given the task of identifying the          Tiger leaders who are yet hiding among IDPs apart from grilling those          terrorists who are being caught.          Army caches still being dug up          Arms caches are still being dug up from areas liberated from the          Tigers, and until such time it has all been unearthed it is not possible          to begin resettling people in those areas. The valuation of those arms          found too is continuing to take place.         The Army Commander indicated that the US Embassy has made requests to          allow them to be involved in the process of building data on the          state-of-the-art arms recovered from former Tiger areas.          ****</blockquote>
