“Mario, we are now entrusting to you the “Victrix” Troopers. We are confident that you will continue or will even exceed with flying colors the legacy of the previous commanders of 76th IB”, he said.
The Change of Command is a military tradition that represents a formal transfer of authority and responsibility for a unit from one commanding or flag officer to another. The passing of unit color from an outgoing commander to an incoming one ensures that the unit and its soldiers is never without official leadership, a continuation of trust, and also signifies an allegiance of soldiers to their unit’s commander.
MGen Parayno also thanked the presence and support of the different members of local government units and stakeholders of Occidental Mindoro. “I am confident that with all of you, solidly supporting the Army in its programs and undertakings, we will be able to finally win the peace we all deserve”, he added. 2DPAO / MCAG
