PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur -- The Philippine Army Special Forces Regiment (Airborne) commander, Brigadier General Lincoln Francisco T. Tagle, AFP made his first official visit to one of his organic units in Mindanao to include the 3rd Special Forces (Arrowhead) Battalion (3SFBn) based in Barangay Noli, Bayugan City, this province from Sept. 11 to 13, 2019.
His visit boosted the morale of the 3SFBn which covers the areas of Bayugan City and municipality of Prosperidad in Agusan del Sur. The 3SFBn areas of operation in Surigao del Sur covers the municipalities of Lianga, San Agustin, Marihatag, Cagwait, Bayabas, and portions of San Miguel and Tago. 3SFBn is composed of the 7th Special Forces Company (SPARTANS) Company, 8th Special Forces (DRAGOONS) Company, and the 9th Special Forces (HOUNDS) Company.
Lt. Col. Joey Baybayan, commanding officer of 3SFBn, expressed his gratitude, “We are thankful for your visit sir because your mere presence as our leader gives us the impression that you care about the morale and welfare of our troops. This alone inspires this unit to do its best towards the accomplishment of our mission here in our area of operations,” he said.
Upon arrival, BGen. Tagle paid a courtesy call to the 401st Infantry (UNITY) Brigade. Not the casual and usual visit, he made his rounds to all company headquarters and even went up the critical locations of CAA Patrol Bases to include the Mabuhay Patrol Base in Mabuhay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur and Janipaan Patrol Base in Janipaan, San Agustin, Surigao del Sur to see the actual conditions of his troops. Further, he participated in the Bayugan City on Wheels in the hinter barangay of Calaitan in Bayugan City to witness the convergence efforts of the local government unit and the 3SFBn in line with the Whole-of-Nation Approach to end local communist armed conflict in their area of operations.
On the other hand, LTC Baybayan presented the former rebels and firearms recovered from the successful combat operations and the influx of surrenders since the start of the year.
BGen. Tagle is proud of the unit’s performance and urged the troops to carry on the good work and continue to improve. “While we accomplish our tasks, let us not forget that this is not the end of the line. We will face far more challenging and more difficult missions that's why we have to be ready at all times. Never stop improving,” he said.
Currently, the Special Forces Regiment (Airborne) battalions of the Philippine Army are strategically based in the critical areas of Mindanao particularly in Bukidnon, Sulu, Basilan, and Cotabato. (1Lt. Krisjuper Andreo J. Punsalan, 3SFBn, PA/PIA-Agusan del Sur)
