CAMP O’DONNELL, Capas, Tarlac -- Army Mechanized Infantry Division (MID) reassured robust units and civil-military engagements in the fight against terrorism and insurgency.

In his speech during the Change of Command Ceremony, newly-installed Commander Major General Robert Dauz highlighted the mark of excellence of MID and the importance of right mix of triad operations in serving the people and securing the land.

“As I assume the responsibility and leadership of MID, our perspective is to have an infantry that is well-meaning-serious army with robust infantry units to perform its core purpose,” he stressed.

“With this, combined with the contribution of every member of the organization or through inclusive approach, we will build and bring the MID to greater heights,” Dauz furthered.

Based on Executive Order No. 70 series of 2018, the whole-of-nation approach is institutionalized as a government policy for the attainment of inclusive and sustainable peace.

“We will employ strong foundations of approaches and these should be a combination of combat, civil-military and information operations,” Dauz said.

The Division also intends to maximize the professional expertise of the members of the Multi-sectoral Advisory Board to further attain the Army Transformation Roadmap.

“As we embark to write the next chapter of our history, let us not lose sight of our responsibilities as citizens of our country and as armors with a core purpose of serving the people and securing the land,” Dauz emphasized.

“Let us keep the spirit of winning burning in our hearts and minds. Let us fight to win the peace fight under the rule of law,” he furthered.

Dauz is a member of the Philippine Military Academy “Maringal” Class of 1988.

He served as the Commander of various units such as Commandant of The Armor School, 5th Light Armor Battalion that was subsequently reclassified as the 4th Mechanized Infantry Battalion, Security and Escort Battalion, 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade and Joint Task Force “Talakudong” in Maguindanao.
