CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao -- Be more professional and capable soldiers.

This was the advice given by Major Gen. Diosdado Carreon, Army’s 6th Infantry Division (ID) commander, during send-off ceremonies Saturday to 206 new Army privates who have just completed training and are now deployed to various Army units in Central Mindanao.

“You will now be part of the command’s campaign against various threat groups in mainland Mindanao,” Carreon, also chief of Joint Task Force Central (JTFC), said.

Of the total new soldiers, 150 will be assigned to the Army battalions under the jurisdiction of the 6ID.
The remaining 56 soldier-graduates will be temporarily assigned to post engineer detachments to facilitate early completion of numerous command projects.

Carreon also reminded the new soldiers to be physically and mentally fit, obey lawful orders, and work with a sense of duty.

“To the gaining units of these new soldiers, the 6ID expects you to continue to hone them to become more professional and capable soldiers,” he said.

The 206 privates graduated from candidate-soldiers training last November 28 at the Division Training School in Barangay Semba, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao.
