Army Commander-in-Chief Gen Anupong Paochinda has instructed the 2nd and 3rd Army Areas to deploy 20 companies of soldiers to reinforce troops keeping security at the 11th Infantry Regiment, the Army spokesman said Sunday.
The regiment is where the government set up the Peacekeeping Operations Centre to deal with the red-shirt massive rally.
The spokesman, Col Sansern Kaewkamnerd, said each army area deployed 10 companies of troops to the regiment.
The deployments were made after the red-shirt leaders announced they would move protesters to demonstrate outside the regiment at noon on Sunday.
