THE PHILIPPINE Army launched its 1st training cycle this year for 92 career and specialization courses at a blended opening ceremony at Camp O’Donnell, Capas, Tarlac on January 16, 2023.

There are nearly 3,000 Army students who will take programs needed for professional advancement.

5th Infantry Division Commander Brig. Gen. Audrey L. Pasia, the guest of honor and speaker, challenged the officers and men who will take the various courses to excel in their schooling.

The Philippine Army has ramped up the implementation of courses to address the training backlog and the impact of Republic Act 11709 which affects the attrition and promotion of Army personnel.

Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr. has prioritized the enhancement of soldiers’ skills and unit capabilities through continuous training.
