Army vows full archipelagic defense ops backing
The Philippine Army, under Lieutenant General Antonio G. Nafarrete, has reaffirmed its strong commitment to the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Operations (CADO).
Nafarrete emphasized the Army's dedication to bolstering its role as a key force provider for the Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM) and the Western Command (WESCOM), which are crucial for external defense.
These commands are responsible for protecting strategic areas facing Taiwan and the West Philippine Sea.
The Army is actively participating in large-scale training exercises like the Combined Arms Training Exercise (CATEX) 'Katihan' to prepare for multi-domain operations and ensure interoperability with the Navy and Air Force.
Modernization efforts, including the integration of drone technology, are being prioritized to support the transition from internal to external defense operations.
