First Lankan female Army officers to serve as UN Military Observers
The first Sri Lankan female Army Officers selected to serve in the Central African Republic as Military Observers (MILOBS) at the UN Peace Keeping Mission in Central Africa (MINUSCA) met with the Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake at the Army Headquarters recently prior to their departure.
Major Dishanthi Mendis of the Sri Lanka Army General Service Corps (SLAGSC) and Major Nishanthi Liyanage of the Sri Lanka Army Women’s Corps (SLAWC) will serve as UN military observers in the Central African Republic for one year.
After Sri Lanka joined the United Nations Organization in 1955, the first UN mission of the Army was sent to Congo in the African continent. It was only a 16 member team and its mission commenced in 1960 and ended in 1962.
