CAMP CAPINPIN, Tanay, Rizal, Sept 7 (PIA) — The first batch of Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) recruits to undergo the Army’s 45-day jungle warfare training were declared graduates during a ceremony here Friday.
Out of the 85 PCG recruits, 57 were male while the rest were females, all of whom will be deployed to guard Philippine shores.
Lt Col Jose DR Del Rosario III, Commandant of the 2nd Division Training School, said the Jungle Warfare and Mountain Operations Course is the first training that 2ID soldiers take after their enlistment into the Philippine Army.
“This training developed each individual’s survival instinct, warrior spirit, leadership trait, teamwork and, above all, discipline which are among the hallmarks of being servant soldiers and defenders of the Filipino people”, ended Lt Col Del Rosario.
It can be recalled that the PCG, through Rear Admiral Joseph Coyme who is the Commander of the PCG's Human Resource Management Command, reached out to the 2nd Infantry Division to have their neophytes cross-train with the Army in order to increase their recruits’ readiness to accomplish their given mandate.
Rear Admiral Coyme explained that “in times of war, PCG will be under the Department of National Defense, thus, there is an underlying need for us to capacitate our forces so that we will be able to live up to the expectations of our people and spirit behind that provision.”
"We believe that we were able to successfully achieve that objective, thus, the Philippine Coast Guard and 2ID have decided to formalize this partnership and institutionalize this worthwhile undertaking with the goal of better serving our people and securing every inch of Philippine territory”, ended Rear Admiral Coyme.
