Major Joseph Medeama, Commander Rear (Officer commanding the 3BN), assured the general public that the military was established to protect them and would not do anything to harm or infringe on their fundamental human rights.

Maj  Medeama later led the Regional Minister and some school children through the activities of the garrison.
