The Army’s 6th Infantry (Kampilan) Division based at Camp Siongco, Awang, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte has a new commander, Maj. Gen. Vladimir Cagara.
Army chief Lt. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete presided at the turnover of command between Cagara and Maj. Gen. Donald Gumiran who was reassigned as the new commander of Western Mindanao Command.
In his acceptance remarks, Cagara thanked the Army leadership for entrusting him with the responsibility of leading one of the service’s premier divisions.
“First is the opportunity of taking charge of an Infantry Division, a major unit of the Philippine Army—a challenging yet fulfilling responsibility, especially since the 6th Infantry Division is widely recognized for its rich history and accomplishments, particularly in fighting terrorism and maintaining peace in its area of responsibility,” he said.
