Additional CAFGUS to bolster security development in SULU
CAMP BAUTISTA – Sulu. The Army’s 11th Division gains additional CAFGUs after volunteers graduate from Basic Military Training. The CAA Basic Military Training Class 18 and 19 – 2021, composed of 140 civilian volunteers from Talipao, Sulu, whom formally concluded their 45-day training during the joint closing ceremony last Thursday, June 24 2021 at Headquarters, 2nd Special Forces Battalion, So. Bud Bayug, Brgy Samak Talipao, Sulu.
The ceremony was graced by Brigadier General Antonio I Bautista Jr, Commander of the 1101st Infantry Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Benito G Ramos Jr from the 2nd Special Forces Battalion, Mr Ben-Razir Milahan Jr, SB Secretary representing the Municipality of Talipao, representatives from the 11TH Division CAFGU Affairs Unit (11DCAU) and various Barangay Chairmen from Talipao.
The training was jointly conducted by the 11TH Division Training School and the 2nd Special Forces Battalion at the CAFGU training ground of the 2nd Special Forces Battalion from May 10 to June 23, 2021. The course transforms civilian volunteers into a capable military force through a series of modules designed to train the candidates in the rudiments of military operations.
“Napatunayan ng ating mga CAFGU ang kanilang tapang laban sa mga Abu Sayaff dito sa Sulu. Pinapahalagahan namin ang serbisyo ng ating mga CAFGU sa pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan sa inyong mga komunidad” (Our CAFGUs have proven themselves as formidable force against the Abu Sayaffs in Sulu. We value your service in keeping your communities peaceful), notes Brigadier General Bautista during the ceremony.
The graduates will form part of the Citizen Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) Companies in Sulu are under the operational control of the 2nd Special Forces Battalion.
MORE EQUIPPED, DYNAMICALLY TRAINED
With advent of a more responsive support system, the Philippine Army has issued modern line items to further motivate and professionalize the CAFGUs in various parts of the country.
Brandishing new digital camouflage uniforms, headgears, combat shoes, bandoleers and combat packs – all in PHILARPAT (digital pattern), the issued items of this year’s CAA BMT is a testament on the Army’s thrust to uplift the morale of its troops.
The battalion provides command and control to more than half of the CAFGUs in Sulu.
Responsive to the shifting operational environment, intensified training on basic first aid and hands-on livelihood training was also incorporated to the recent graduates. This capacitated the CAAs to engage in disaster rescue and response operations alongside developmental activities as efforts shift from combat operations to community development support programs in the province.
To date, the 2nd Special Forces Battalion exerts command and control to 13 CAA companies, contributing a formidable and relevant force for the sustained peace and development in the Province of Sulu.
