CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief highlighted the role of the Reserve Force as the organization’s crucial asset during the first-ever National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP) Reservists' Jamboree on July 28.
“As steadfast Filipino soldiers, may you all commit to the fulfillment of your sworn oath to the Flag and the people. This recognition welcomes you to the unparalleled world of perseverance and hard work with your co-soldiers supporting you to become an extensively knowledgeable and goal-oriented reserve force. I am sure that the AFP Reserve Command will break more barriers towards maximizing its potential as a crucial asset of the whole Armed Forces of the Philippines,” Chief of Staff, Armed Forces of the Philippines (CSAFP), General Romeo Brawner said.
The Jamboree was an opportunity to recognize the contributions and service of the NDCP Alumni and Reservists to the country and the donning of ranks of newly-commissioned officers in the Reserve Force.
As the government's premier institution for defense and security education, research, and training, the NDCP, through its Master in National Security Administration (MNSA) program, remains committed to honing dedicated leaders as it celebrates its 60th Anniversary with the theme, "NDCP @ 60 and Beyond: Thriving in a New Era of Collective Responsibility. Navigating through Ever-Evolving National Security."
"The NDCP trains the best and the future leaders of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, whether in the Regular Force or in the Reserve Force," said General Brawner. He also expressed his desire to develop and streamline a reserve force that is highly capable of defending the country.///
