As the Tarlac-based Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) celebrated its 65th founding anniversary on Friday, its officers and enlisted personnel received warm congratulations for its achievements in turning out quality soldiers for the country.

“You have greatly contributed in the molding of my professional being, and the thousands of Philippine Army and the ASEAN armies who benefited from the professional training programs and erudite tutelage of this illustrious military learning institution,” Department of National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in his message, which was read by Undersecretary Ricardo A. David.

TRADOC is commanded by Brig. Gen. Herminigildo Francisco C. Aquino.

In his message, Lorenzana said he is confident with the professional acumen and dynamics of TRADOC under Aquino's leadership.

“TRADOC shall continue to scale higher heights of achievements for the Philippine Army, our armed forces, and our country and people,” he added.

TRADOC's 65th anniversary kicked off with the blessing of vehicles (M-35 trucks, KM-450 troop carrier, school buses, and military police cars) and inauguration of ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet Grandstand; AARM ranges (ladies and men pistol, carbine and machine gun); Building 3; Floating huts; Student Mess Hall; Medical Dispensary; and Dental Detachment.
