MANILA – Philippine Army (PA) commander Lt. Gen. Roy Galido has reminded officers and personnel of the service's Armor Division to continue to be relevant by properly maintaining all defense assets.

Galido made the call during the division's 48th anniversary celebration on June 15, the PA said in a news release on Monday.

"The Army Chief, in his keynote remarks, emphasized the importance of staying relevant as well as the proper sustainment of the Armor Division’s defense assets which are crucial in the Army’s shift to territorial defense operations," it added.

Galido also committed to implementing policies that would help retain the division's highly skilled manpower tasked to maintain and operate the PA's defense assets.

He said his guidance is anchored on three basic principles -- changing one’s mindset, changing one’s lifestyle, and changing the way of doing things for the betterment of the organization.

The Armor Division is the unit tasked to operate and maintain the Army's armored fighting and armored reconnaissance vehicles, light tanks, and other support assets.
