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
