Officers and enlisted personnel of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will undergo practical training on how to detect weapons of mass destruction (WMD) from members of the United Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
The training will take place July 22 to 25, Coast Guard head Vice Admiral Rodolfo Isorena said on Tuesday.
DTRA members will also provide Philippine Coast Guard officers and enlisted personnel with WMD detection and inspection equipment training.
The training aims to equip the participants with knowledge and skills to detect and interdict the trafficking of WMD and related materials within the Philippine territorial waters and at key seaports.
The training is expected to enhance PCG’s capability on maritime domain awareness.
