He added, "We will make every effort to persuade and request support from the Army Headquarters, Ministry of National Defense, and the National Assembly so that the wishes of the residents can be fulfilled."

Meanwhile, the county plans to deliver the petition signatures for the military unit relocation to the Army Headquarters in early March and request the relocation as a special accounting project of the army.
