After more than 15 years of detail in Basilan, the 4th Special Forces “Dolphin Warriors” Battalion (4SFBn) of the Philippine Army (PA) officially concluded its mission in the island province, receiving a warm and emotional send-off on June 30 at the Port of Lamitan City.
The ceremony was led by Brig. Gen. Alvin Luzon, commander of the 101st Infantry “Three Red Arrows” Brigade, and attended by military officials, local leaders, and community stakeholders.
The event marked the end of a deployment that significantly contributed to the province’s transformation from a conflict-ridden area into a more peaceful and secure community.
Representing battalion commander Lt. Col. Adolf Ian Garceron was Maj. Jundy Adrian Paul Peralta who received the commendations and messages of gratitude on behalf of the unit.
