The Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Roy M. Galido graced the blessing ceremony of newly-acquired assets of the Armor “Pambato” Division at Camp O'Donnell, Sta. Lucia, Capas, Tarlac on March 5, 2024.
Lt. Gen. Galido, who was joined by the Southern Luzon Commander and concurrent Armor Division Commander Maj. Gen. Facundo Palafox IV, led the blessing ceremony of five 6x6 wheeled Armor Personnel Carriers, nine ASCOD Sabrah Light Tanks, one Command Post Vehicle, and one Tractor-Head. Likewise, the Army Chief also led the unveiling of markers for the Mess Hall, Armor Museum, and Maintenance Depot Facility.
The newly-acquired assets will bolster the Armor Division’s capabilities in terms of operational readiness towards attaining a world-class, multi-mission-ready, and cross-domain capable armor force. “Our goal is to establish a “Matatag na Hukbong Katihan para sa Bagong Pilipinas,” said Lt. Gen. Galido in his message.
