AFP, PNP, PCG hold first joint "Pagsasanay Lakas" exercise

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) have successfully conducted their first-ever joint Interagency Exercise named "Pagsasanay Lakas".

This collaborative effort was designed to enhance the synchronized operational responses of the country's security forces across different domains.

AFP Chief-of-Staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. highlighted the exercise as a significant milestone in institutional cooperation, emphasizing a shared commitment to national security.

The exercise aimed to establish a common operational framework where the participating institutions could think, plan, and act together as co-equals.

Gen. Brawner stressed that the AFP, PNP, and PCG trained as equals during the exercise, with no single institution taking the lead.

This initiative is crucial for bolstering the Philippines' defense capabilities in the face of increasingly complex security challenges.
