How the SLCSF contributes to development
Right throughout history we have seen how a well
trained army along with the military genius of its commanders have
won wars and created empires. The Roman Empire expanded because of
the efficiency of its legions and the brilliance of its Generals.
The well known French General Napoleon Bonaparte achieved great
success due to his Grande Armée. The Sri Lankan Civil Security Force
rendered an invaluable service to the country as an auxiliary force
serving alongside the Three Forces and the Special Task Force. An
outfit specially trained to protect the villages from the terrorist
threat, they were the pride of the military and the country. They
served with honour and dedication. Their commitment to their
motherland and the villages they were assigned to protect was
foremost on their minds. They did not falter in their duty.

who united the Medes of what is now Iran, constructed a seven-walled
capital at ‘Ecbatana’ (Hangmatana - ‘meeting place’, modern Hamadan).
The Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaton erected the city of Akhetaton (modern
el Amarna) at some distance from the then capital, Thebes, to
enhance his own power and his belief in Aton, and to challenge the
dominance of the priests of the polytheistic religion.

independent status.
