The Philippine Navy (PN) has deployed its Marine Landing
Battalion Landing Team-1 (MBLT-1) to replace MBLT-2 in Talipao, Sulu.
This was confirmed by PN spokesperson Col. Edgard Arevalo
Tuesday.
MBLT-1's sendoff took place Monday at the Marine Base in Cavite City
"They will be relieving (the) MBLT-2, its part of a
regular retraining process, all battalions should be rotated every year but
sometimes it is not done due to operational requirements. We rotate battalions
because we need to retrain, refresh, and refurbish for future
deployments," he added.
Each MBLT consists of 450 to 500 officers and enlisted
personnel.
Upon its arrival in Talipao, Sulu on Sunday, MBLT-1 will be
use in the ongoing operations to neutralize the Abu Sayyaf and other lawless
elements in the province.
