Brgy Del Pilar, Piñan, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines - The 5th Infantry (Duty-Bound) Battalion (CADRE) under the
leadership of its Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Marces T. Gayat of
Philippine Army declares the One Hundred and Twelve (112) new CAFGU Active
Auxiliaries (CAAs) graduates of the Basic Military Training Classes 05 & 06
– 2016 during its Closing Ceremony held at 5IB CAFGU Training Center (CTC), Barangay
Pikalawag, Sultan Naga Dimaporo, Lanao del Norte on 11 November 2016.
The CAA Basic Military Training aims to educate and equipped the new CAAs with the
basic military skills. It also seeks to give them formal knowledge and training
on squad tactics which is essential in the official discharge of their function
being the AFP’s force multiplier and as they are formally introduced and
organized under the basic military unit of the Philippine Army – the SQUAD.
Finally the training also serves as an avenue to further foster the discipline
and values which are indispensable attributes of good public servants in the
community.
During
the Closing Ceremony, the Guest of Honor and Speaker Lieutenant Colonel Pompeyo Jason M. Almagro, Commanding Officer
of 55th Infantry (Vigilant) Battalion stationed in Brgy Burgos,
Oroqueta City, congratulated the newly graduates and commend the training
committee for the successful trainings.
In his
speech, he emphasized the value of discipline particularly in the military
service he said. “ Discipline can be
developed through trainings and that’s the reason why all civilians who signify
their intention to join the military or the profession of arms must undergo the
basic military training” he added.
He further
explained that said training caters the need of new CAAs to build their
self-esteem and confidence, elevate their standard of conduct, and level of expertise
and competence in the military profession, in order for them to effectively
address the security threat posed by the CPP/NPA/NDF (CNN), Southern
Philippines Secessionist Group (SPSG) and other lawless elements operating in
the area. The CAFGU, he said, serves as
force multiplier and left behind forces that directly safeguard the barangays
under the Integrated Territorial Defense System (ITDS) which makes every
community a safe and better place to live in. (posted by Becky D. de Asis – The Redline News Philippines)
