New officers appointed to key TRADOC offices

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 4): New officers appointed to key TRADOC offices

New commanding officers have been appointed to the Training and Doctrine Command's (TRADOC) Doctrine Command and Governance Strategy Management Office (GSMO).

The change-of-command ceremonies took place at the TRADOC headquarters in Camp O' Donnell, Capas, Tarlac Friday, unit spokesperson Capt. Alberto Caber said.

Installed as new Doctrine Center head was Col. Edgardo Palma while Col. Gilmar Galicia was appointed GSMO chief.

Present during the event was TRADOC head, Maj. Gen. Herminigildo Francisco Aquino.

Aquino emphasized the essential duties and responsibilities of the concerned offices for TRADOC’s growth path to a world-class institution.

“Doctrine tells us how we will fight today’s wars while GSMO tells us how to be the future Army we envision ourselves to be,” he said.

The GSMO is a personal staff of the commander on matters pertaining to governance, strategy alignment, scorecard development, strategy evaluation and strategic communication.

The Doctrine Center is a subordinate unit of TRADOC that capacitates a commander to execute campaigns, battles and engagements.

It is also the starting point from which a commander develops solutions and options to address the specific war fighting demands and challenges faced during the conduct of operations.

The TRADOC chief meanwhile commended former Doctrine Center and GSMO heads, Col. Rynell More and Col. Abundio Caracas, for doing a good job in their respective commands.
