Posted to the AFP Civil Relations Service Website (Nov 17): CMO Operators in the Visayas gather at 3ID for action plans review and workshop

Camp Peralta, Jamindan, Capiz- The Army’s 3rd Infantry Division hosted today a one day Civil Military Operations (CMO) Action Plans Review and Workshop here. The workshop aims to review the CMO action plans of the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Central Command and its major operationally controlled units to include the Air Force’s Tactical Operation Wings, Naval Forces and the Philippine National Police’s Community Relations Service. This activity will ensure that the CMO plans are aligned with the desired “indicators, conditions and end state” of CMO parameters for functional assessment to make sure that the strategic objectives are all together linked and to assure better understanding and uniform application by all AFP units starting next year. “This command is certain that through this activity, we will be able to harmonized our tactical, operational and strategic objectives together. There is indeed a need to review the formulated tools for CMO so that our ground commanders would have better appreciation and standard application,” said Major General Jose Mabanta Jr, 3ID Commander. “I therefore encourage you to make the most out of this workshop and learn from among yourselves. Avoid the i-know-that-already syndrome by opening your minds to anything new to you and share your best practices,” added Mabanta. Civil Military Operations from major army units from Negros and Panay islands including CMO officers from Western Command, Naval Forces West and PNP’s PCR attended the workshop which is also being conducted in other AFP’s area commands across the country.
