Good news for the Hukbong Katihan ng Pilipinas
(Philippine Army).
The Philippine Army (PA) has acquired 50 units
of KM250 troop carriers under the Revised Armed
Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program
(RAFPMP).
The delivery pushed through despite the
problems being experienced by the country brought about by the novel coronavirus
2019 disease or COVID-19.
And as a matter of tradition, a simple
blessing ceremony was held at the Headquarters Philippine Army Grandstand, Fort
Bonifacio, Taguig City today, May 19, 2020.

Keynote speaker of the event was Army
chief Lieutenant General Gilbert I. Gapay.
Gapay said the delivery of the troop carriers will augment the
Army’s existing mobility assets and were temporarily issued to the Army Support
Command (ASCOM) to further increase its mobility readiness and to be utilized
in the operations against the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
“KM250s, along with their other
counterparts, have become synonymous to the Army’s sustainment operations.
These 2 ½ ton-workhorses are all over the country – in Internal Security
Operations, development efforts, reliefs, partnerships, and now in our pandemic
operations. Let us take care of our vehicles, and keep them always on top
working condition. As more transports enable us to become more mobile, we
ensure that our service keeps rolling smoothly,” Lieutenant General Gapay said.
