Brig. Gen. William N. Gonzales,
Commander of the FSSR officiated the recognition of the new batch of
graduates who have finished the elite courses which was highlighted by
the distribution of awards and recognitions. Significantly, the pinning
of the Scout Ranger and Scout Sniper Badges to the graduates was led by
the Chief, PNP, Director General Oscar D. Albayalde, who was invited as
the Guest of Honor and Speaker. He was accompanied and assisted by the
Commanding General, Philippine Army, Lt. Gen. Macairog S. Alberto.
A total of 146 personnel coming from the
different Army units including one from the Philippine Air Force and 16
from the Philippine National Police finished the Scout Ranger Course.
While for the Scout Sniper, 21 have successfully hurdle the course.
The Scout Ranger Course is a 10-month training that requires strength, speed and mental toughness which specializes on jungle warfare, close quarter combat, urban warfare and counter terrorism operations. On the other hand, the Scout Snipers was a more than seven months of mentally and physically challenging training that involves camouflaging and stalking techniques for them to operate independently forward of friendly position in the battlefield.
These two courses are considered as
among the toughest specialization training that is being offered by the
Army which aims to develop personnel capability, cohesiveness and combat
efficiency. The new graduates are expected to boost the combat
capabilities of their respective units as they are integrated and
employed based on their new learned skills.
Police Director General Albayalde was
conferred as honorary member of the newly graduate Scout Ranger Course
Class 206-2018. In his remarks, he expressed his delight for the honor
accorded to him by the Philippine Army. In retrospect, he proudly shared
that he himself has undertaken the Scout Ranger Orientation Course
while the Ranger’s camp was still stationed in Tanay, Rizal.
He said that through continuous
coordination and cooperation between the PNP and AFP, the Philippine
Army in particular, there is no doubt that the government could succeed
in quelling the various security threats besetting the country. He
emphasized that training is truly an important factor especially in the
security sector to fully attain its goal of providing a safe and secured
environment for the people.
Lt. Gen. Alberto on the other hand,
congratulated the graduates and the leadership of FSRR for a job well
done. He stressed to the members of the regiment to continue hone their
unique skills and maintain the highest standard of discipline. “Let us
remain humble yet relevant in pursuit of the Army’s mission
accomplishment. Let us fight the way we trained and train the way we
fight,” he added.
The event underscores the success of the
Philippine Army in attaining its objective of producing an agile force,
making highly disciplined rangers and snipers that stands for the
Army’s core values of honor, patriotism and duty. The graduates are set
to serve the people and secure the land.#
