CAPAS, Tarlac, Dec.15 (PIA) -- Armed Forces of the Philippines Peacekeeping Operations Center (AFPPKOC) and Joint United States Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG-Philippines) inaugurated Thursday two new training facilities in Camp O’Donnell.
These include the Central Training Complex (CTC) and Mess Hall of Peacekeepers.
“The facilities are expected to help promote the accessibility, sufficiency and professionalism in the training of future peacekeepers,” Major General Andres Centino, who represented AFP Vice Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Gaudencio C. Collado, stressed.
CTC was named as Bulwagang Romulo in honor Carlos P. Romulo who served as President of the United Nations General Assembly. It has an auditorium, classrooms, driving simulation room, language laboratory, officer and VIP lounge.
