The Philippine Army, under Lieutenant General Antonio G. Nafarrete, has reaffirmed its full support for the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Operations (CADO).
Nafarrete emphasized the Army's commitment to being a primary force provider for the Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) and Western Command (WESCOM), which are key in external defense operations.
These efforts are crucial for areas facing Taiwan and the West Philippine Sea.
The Army conducts large-scale training exercises like CATEX 'Katihan' to prepare for multi-domain operations requiring interoperability with the Navy and Air Force.
Modernization efforts, including the integration of drone technology, are also highlighted as essential for the transition to external defense.
