Mindanao Army divsion gets new military trucks

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 22): Mindanao Army divsion gets new military trucks

The Army's 6th Infantry Division's mobile capability, both in combat and humanitarian assistance, have been boosted with the arrival of 70 KM-450 KIA vehicles, Capt. Joann Petinglay on Monday said.

Petinglay, 6th ID spokesperson, said the new vehicles to be deployed to all Army battalion and support units under the Kampilan division arrived a day after President Duterte visited the camp to honor fallen and wounded soldiers in the campaign against illegal drugs.

"This will help in our mobility, these vehicles will improve our combat operations and in the support role in the government's campaign against illegal drugs," Petinglay told DXOM-AM Radyo Bida.

A send-off ceremony is being prepared for the new military trucks that will compliment the existing Army mobility equipment.

Petinglay said the vehicles will be used mainly to transport government forces for combat and humanitarian missions in its area of jurisdiction.

The Kampilan division covers the provinces of Maguindanao, North Cotabato, part of Sultan Kudarat and part of Lanao del Sur.
