About 60 officers and men of the Army's 57th Infantry
Battalion have completed its Battalion of Excellence (BOE) training program in
a ceremonial graduation at the division battalion retraining facility here on
Wednesday.
Major Gen. Edmundo Pangilinan, 6th Infantry Division
commanding general, was the guest of honor and speaker of the graduation
ceremonies held at Camp
Lucero
Capt. Joann Petinglay, 6th ID spokesperson, said the
training which started on October 1 involved intelligence operations training,
mortar gunnery, live fire on mortar and crew-served weapons, rifle marksmanship
training, proper utilization and maintenance of communications, electronics and
information (CEIS) equipment, physical fitness test, squad and platoon run, and
field training exercises.
Speaking to the troops, Major General Pangilinan said that
he was pleased of what the soldiers of 57IB had become and he is certain that the
soldiers are ready to be deployed wherever the Army takes them.
“Let us not be contended with mediocre output, I urge
everyone to work for excellent yield and make sure we win first before we go to
war rather than we go to battle and seek to win,” Pangilinan said.
The training program intends to develop the performance of
the infantry battalions in a combat capacity to perform the tasks and
operations across the different mission areas projected to operate.
It is under the functional supervision of the Office of the
Assistant Chief of Staff for Education and Training (G8) of the Philippine Army
and administered by the Land Warfare Center
of the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command based in Camp O’Donell
Pangilinan said similar training will be provided to other
units under the 6th ID's operational and administrative areas in the provinces
of Maguindanao, part of North Cotabato and
part of Sultan Kudarat.
