In line with efforts to enhance the leadership skills of its
field officers, the Philippine Army (PA) activated the Army Leadership
Development and Education Center (ALDEC) at Luna Hall, Training and Doctrine
Command in Capas, Tarlac last Monday.
Col. Benjamin Hao, PA spokesperson, said ALDEC was activated
to focus on leadership development of the Army which is in line with the
strategic objective of the Army Transformation Roadmap (ATR) of continuously
building and developing the character and competence of all its personnel.
"The most important and the most dynamic element of
combat power is leadership," Training and Doctrine Command head Major Gen.
Ivan F Samarita said.
ALDEC originated from the Army's Staff Officer School
Its personnel and equipment were all transferred to ALDEC.
"Our new institution should be able to become, not only
a laboratory for understanding what leadership is, but it should also be a
factory of leaders," Samarita added.
"We will continue to produce leaders that must possess
exceptional command and leadership skills," he pointed out.
ALDEC is mandated to conduct staff officer course to prepare
field grade officers for various staff positions in the PA and the area command
of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
The Army designated Col. Reynaldo Celso A. Lanuzo, the
former Inspector General of the Army's 2nd Infantry Division based in
Tanay, Rizal as the first director of ALDEC.
Lanuzo is a member of PMA Class 1985 and a former faculty
member of the AFP's Command and General Staff College.
