ILOILO City – The Armed Forces of the Philippines has 200 new soldiers ready for deployment in various parts of Panay Island.
They were welcomed by the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) chief, Major General Jon Aying, in Camp Peralta, Jamindan, Capiz on Monday and were formally given their service firearms.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Ericson Rosana of the 3ID, these new members of the Spearhead Troopers Division successfully completed six months of rigid training – Candidate Soldier Course and Jungle Warfare Mountain Operation Course – held at the Division Training School of Camp Peralta.
The training started on Aug. 1, 2016 and ended early this month.
“The trainings provided the soldiers with the basic knowledge and skills on soldiery, developed their character worthy to become members of the AFP, and prepared them to perform duties as riflemen and automatic riflemen of infantry squads,” said Rosana.
Aside from Panay Island, some of the soldiers would be assigned to Bohol and Negros Occidental.
Aying reminded the new soldiers to always uphold military professionalism./PN
