The Philippine Army is revisiting its education, training, and doctrine programs to enhance its responsiveness in pivoting to territorial defense operations.
This discussion took place during a forum held at the Army Support Command Headquarters in Camp Servillano Aquino, Tarlac City.
Army Chief Lt. Gen. Roy M. Galido emphasized the significance of establishing well-defined parameters for evaluating the performance of trainees during both individual and unit training sessions.
In his keynote address, the Army Chief tasked the Training Command with preparing for division-sized training exercises that align with the overall transition to territorial defense operations.
He also underscored the necessity of moving and sustaining large-scale combat forces, a process that commenced with this year’s inaugural iteration of the Philippine Army-wide Combined-Arms Training Exercise (CATEX) Katihan.
The annual event is anchored on the theme: “Adapting Excellence: Strengthening the Philippine Army’s Education and Training for Evolving Territorial Defense Challenges.”
