From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 12): 8,000 ROTC cadets in NCR to undergo administrative, tactical inspections Sunday

Around 8,000 Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) cadets from the National Capital Region (NCR) will be undergoing administrative and tactical inspections this coming Sunday.

The inspection will be conducted by the National Capital Regional Community Defense Group, said Army spokesperson Col. Benjamin Hao.

It will be held at the ROTC Hunters Guerrilla Parade Ground, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

Hao said the activity is dubbed as the 10th Centralized Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI) for SY 2015-2016.

It is part of the pre-anniversary activities in celebration of the 119th Philippine Army founding anniversary which falls on March 22.

Hao said Army commander Lt. Gen. Eduardo M. Año is expected in the daylong event.

RAATI is a yearly activity of the Philippine Army which entails actual inspection of all activated Army ROTC units nationwide.

It is designed to evaluate the ROTC units in the implementation of the whole ROTC program.

The inspection aims to test the units’ degree of administrative efficiency, training management, proficiency, and quality of training attained by the cadets.

These includes Administrative Inspection, Ceremonial Parade, Rank Inspection, Operation Order writing, Map Reading, Assembly and Disassembly of M-16 rifle and Cal. 45 pistol, Company Drill, Method of Instructions, Small Unit Tactics and Disaster Response and Rescue Operations.

It also intends to test the operational readiness of the ROTC units and allow the students to experience the real meaning of basic soldiery.

It is also a tool to attract freshmen college students to enroll in ROTC program so that more Filipino citizens will join the Philippine Army Reserve Force.

The ROTC students and school administrators will also have educational tour at the Army facilities including the Museum, and the Philippine Army Murals around the HPA Grandstand. The Army Museum is open for tour to the public from March 13 to 22.
