New Army chief vows to improve support system for field units

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 14): New Army chief vows to improve support system for field units

Newly appointed Philippine Army (PA) commander, Major Gen. Hernando DCA Iriberri, has vowed to improve the support system for all of its field units.

This was revealed by Lt. Col. Noel Detoyato, the PA spokesperson, Friday.

"They (field commanders) can expect the same (level) of support (during the term of Lt. Gen. Noel Coballes) or even better," he added.

The latter refers to existing mechanism for reinforcement, equipment, training, and maintenance.

Detoyato stressed that Iriberri is attuned to the needs of the field since he has commanded both divisions and brigades.

Prior his appointment as PA chief, Iriberri commanded the Nueva Ecija-based 7th Infantry Division.

"He will just continue with the (existing) support system and do some improvements on it," he added.

Detoyato stated that any clogging on the support system can be costly as operations or maneuvers can be delayed.
