Army trains new CAFGUs in Kalinga

From the Philippine Information Agency (Jun 30): Army trains new CAFGUs in Kalinga

The Philippine Army stationed in the province is set to train this week about  120 applicants to the Civilian Auxiliary Force Ground Unit (CAFGU) to beef-up its counter-insurgency force.

77th Infantry Battalion (IB) Commander Col. Francisco Milliari reported the training will take place at their camp in Barangay Bantay, here.
As part of the screening, the Army took the background investigation of each of the applicants to assure their loyalty to the constitution as Army auxiliary force.  Their integration to the AFP must not be due to some adventure other than to serve the country and the Filipinos with utmost sincerity and commitment to duty, Milliari stressed.

The 120 applicants will undergo training on basic military combat and  will be inculcated strict military discipline. After qualifying with all the requirements, the new CAFGUs will be deployed in the Army’s area of operation in the province.

 As incentive, CAFGUs who earned good record and performance in their duty are given recruitment priority in the Army.
