“For our Internal Security Operations, a total of 130 firearms were recovered from January - December 2018. Also, a total of 314 rebel personalities surrendered to the Nolcom troopers capped by their Focused Military Operations complemented by the efforts of the Army 5th and 7thInfantry Divisions,” Nolcom Commander Lieutenant General Emmanuel Salamat said.
Units within the Unified Command likewise conducted a Community Support Program dubbed “All-in-One Bayanihan” which focuses on providing support and assistance to Geographically Isolated and Displaced Areas.

Nolcom likewise launched the Heroes Foundation which aims to provide additional support to families of soldiers killed-in-action in defense of various communities against local terrorists and other enemies of state.
