WESCOM: Wish Come True: WESCOM delivers KM450 truck to Marines at Coron

Posted to the Western Command (WESCOM) Facebook Page (Apr 18, 2023): Wish Come True: WESCOM delivers KM450 truck to Marines at Coron

April 15, 2023 – The Commander, AFP Western Command (WESCOM), VADM Alberto B Carlos PN personally handed over a KM450 Cargo Truck to the 23rd Marine Company of Marine Battalion Landing Team (MBLT) 3 – Decalachao Detachment, based in Coron, Palawan. The much-needed service vehicle was an answered prayer for the troops of 23rd Marine Company who have earlier requested for mobility to support their administrative and operational requirements in the area.

 
VADM Carlos inspected the said vehicle in Coron after it arrived from Sangley Point, Cavite City on board a Philippine Navy vessel, BRP Laguna (LS501). The said ship made a short stop-over to disembark cargoes and other supplies intended for units in the area.

Meanwhile, VADM Carlos took the opportunity of visiting the said ship before it departs for its next mission in the WESCOM joint operational area (JOA). LS501’s recent deployment in the WESCOM JOA is its first after five long years in port due to repair and maintenance.

The KM450 Cargo truck was provided by GEN Andres C Centino PA, the Chief of Staff, AFP as part of its commitment to the troops of WESCOM, the patriots and defenders of the western frontier. # # #
