The 303rd Infantry Brigade (IB) leadership convened its battalion commanders, operations officers and key non-commissioned officers in a Command Conference as part of its preparations for the upcoming local and national elections on May 13.

BGen. Benedict Arevalo, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, called on these officers from the 15th Infantry Battalion, 62nd Infantry Battalion, 79th Infantry Battalion, 3rd Civil Military Operations Battalion, and 542nd Engineering Construction Battalion, all assigned in Negros Occidental to ensure that the security preparations of the Army for the coming elections are all on track.

Meanwhile, Major Tim Clavel, the Operations Officer of 303rd Infantry Brigade detailed the security preparations of the military and gave emphasis on the timeline, employment of forces and the resources needed in every area, as per a release from the 303rd IB.

Arevalo reminded battalion commanders to closely coordinate, collaborate and cooperate with PNP and COMELEC counterparts and work as a team for the safe conduct of elections.

"We must ensure the proper implementation of our Security Plan this coming election. We must not allow any armed group especially the CPP-NPA to conduct any atrocities or be used by candidates as their Private Armed Group this coming elections. We must prevent their extortion and other terroristic activities in the province,” Arevalo warned the troops.
