MANILA: Philippine Army (PA) commander Lt. Gen. Roy Galido called on leaders of all the force's reservists to create more units that will beef up their transportation capabilities. Galido made the call during the 41st anniversary of the Reserve Command, Philippine Army (RCPA) held at its headquarters in Camp Riego de Dios, Tanza, Cavite on Sunday, the PA said in a news release Monday. 'As a land force, the main challenge is our ability to move forces from one area to another. If we will rely solely on our KM-450s and KM-250s, then the intention cannot be achieved. Thus, the transport sector has to be our affiliate,' he added. He said this could be done through the recruitment of more persons affiliated with the transport industry. He asked RCPA leaders to organize reserve units to be able to effectively fulfill their mandate to defend the country and be mobilized in times of war, rebellion, or national emergency. He also tasked RCPA chief Maj. Gen. Romulo A. Manuel Jr. to develop a capable, responsive, a nd mobilizable reserve force as an integral part of the Army. Galido called on Army reservists to continue their activities that contribute to nation-building. Source: Philippines News Agency
