Posted to Kalinaw News (Aug 29, 2021): Mastal training school gets new commandant
August 29, 2021, Kuta Heneral Teodulfo Bautista Jolo, Sulu – Yesterday, in a change of command ceremony presided by Joint Task Force – Sulu and 11th Infantry Division Commander Major General William N Gonzales, Colonel Leomar Jose M Doctolero assumed as the new commandant of 11th Division “Mastal” Training School (11DTS) at Camp Bud Datu, Brgy Tagbak, Indanan, Sulu.
“Like our division, Mastal Training School is the youngest there is in the Army. We’ve got lots of things to work on for this school to be institutionalized but I know that Colonel Doctolero is more than ready for this challenge. He is a former commandant of the Scout Ranger School; he was also my executive officer when I was the Philippine Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Training and Education. He also headed the Marksmanship Training Center of Training and Doctrine Command. Through him, I believe that we could churn out top quality, professional soldiers,” said Major General Gonzales during his speech.
Colonel Doctolero is the fourth commandant of the school. Meanwhile, his predecessor, Lieutenant Colonel Ricky N Parcon was awarded with a Military Merit Medal for his laudable accomplishments in formulating guiding principles that will serve as a unit roadmap for improving its instructors as well as the quality of training for soldiers and would-be soldiers of the division.
During the latter’s stint, the school was also able to enhance its facilities to include its firing range, mess hall and organic personnel barracks. Lieutenant Colonel Parcon will now be assigned at the Army Reserve Command in Tanza, Cavite.
To note, 11DTS facilitates Basic Military Training, Infantry Orientation Course, In-Service Training and Battalion Retraining Program of Infantry units. It was organized on December 1, 2020.
