Wow! Another feather on the cap of the Filipino
soldier.
Eight Filipino soldiers from the Philippine Army’s
elite Scout Rangers, participated in the United Kingdom's Exercise
Cambrian Patrol 2019 (Ex CP 2019) held in Wales, were awarded the Silver Medal
for their feat.
"For 51 sleepless hours, the Army’s eight-man
team successfully accomplished its mission by performing various military
operations along the rugged Cambrian Mountains of Mid-Wales, with loads of
logistics and minimal food and water," said PA spokesperson Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala in a
statement.
For 2019, around 130 teams from different countries
participated in the United Kingdom's Exercise Cambrian Patrol 2019.
The eight scout rangers also underwent a 21-day
pre-training before the exercise proper that started last October 14.
The United Kingdom's Exercise Cambrian Patrol 2019
(Ex CP 2019), is an annual international military exercise hosted by
Headquarters 160th (Welsh) Brigade. It is tagged as the British Army’s premier
patrolling event that provides mission-focused and scenario-based exercise to
enhance each participating unit’s operational capabilities.
“The Philippine Army recognizes the achievement of
our Scout Rangers, which is a manifestation of the perseverance and toughness
of the Filipino soldier. Their display of character in the international scene
reflects our nation’s aspirations to become a truly world-class Army,” Zagala
said.
