The Western Mindanao Command has activated its WMC-Forward
Liaison Elements (FLE) to replace Joint Special Operations Task
Force-Philippines (JSOFT-P) which was officially deactivated last Feb. 24.
This was disclosed by WMC spokesperson Capt. Rowena Muyuela
in a statement forwarded Tuesday.
“The activation was made purposely to draw down forces as
part of the realignment made by the Pacific Assessment Team wherein Western
Mindanao Command Forward Liaison Elements (WMC-FLE) will serve as its
replacement,” said JSOTF-P liaison officer Capt. Noni Balboa.
The WMC-FLE is composed of special operations personnel from
the US Army, Navy, and Marines whose primary function focuses on the
humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
“It is our pleasure to assist the Philippine Government,
especially on national development projects and other major supports being
extended since our existence in year 2002, such as the construction of the
circumferential road and schools in Basilan, the renovation of Zamboanga City
International Airport, and the ongoing construction of the Camp Navarro General
Hospital’s pavilion for the soldiers who are wounded in action,” said Balboa.
JSOFT-P was established in January 2002.
