The Philippine Army strengthened its Reserve Force with a two-day Ready Reserve Unit (RRU) Commanders Convention held at 4ID Headquarters, Camp Evangelista, Cagayan de Oro City.
The event gathered nearly 200 RRU Commanders, ROTC Commandants, and Corps Commanders from Mindanao, led by the 10th Regional Community Defense Group of the Army Reserve Command.
The convention enhanced the capabilities of the Reserve Force in supporting the Armed Forces of the Philippines during wars or national emergencies, including Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR).
Participants engaged in discussions and workshops that focused on Reserve Force policies, skills development, and operational readiness.
Key military leaders, such as Major General Romulo A. Manuel Jr. and Brigadier General Benjamin Hao, supported this initiative.
Major General Jose Maria R. Cuerpo II emphasized the irreplaceable role of reservists in national defense and highlighted innovations in technology, personnel management, and training to strengthen the Reserve Force’s capacity to support active forces and national campaigns.
