The
Civil Relations Service, AFP under its Commander BGEN EDUARDO D DEL ROSARIO
AFP, sent representatives who participated in the first ever
Research and Doctrine Writing Training, sponsored by the AFP
Doctrine Development Center (DDC) and held at the AFPRESCOM Social Hall,
Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City on 19-21 July 2011. The Commandant
of the AFP CMO School, MAJ OLIVER A BAÑARIA PAF, together with his two school civilian
staff attended the activity.
During the three-day activity, the
participating personnel of units within GHQ learned how to prepare the
Proponement Advice (PAD) for doctrine development to support the
attainment of their respective mandates. This is also in line with the
“Improvement of the Doctrine Development System (IDDS) Project” under the
Philippine Defense Reform (PDR) Program which, according to its key
movers "serves as the overall framework of the AFP towards
transformation that seeks to re-engineer its systems and re-tool its manpower
or personnel".
By the second day of the
activity, the CRSAFP Team was able to prepare a draft CRSAFP Doctrine or
Manual that would serve as a guide in the conduct of all Civil-Military
Operations (CMO) activities, particularly PsyOps, Civil Affairs and
limited Public Affairs to complement the AFP IPSP “BAYANIHAN” in
order to successfully accomplish the overall mission of the
AFP. The participants were taught the details of
doctrine-making and they were all mesmerized by LTC DENNIS V
ECLARIN PA of the AFP National Development Command ( (NADESCOM)
and Miss Grace Ranjo of the AFPDDC, who lectured on the phases involved
in doctrine-writing and the fundamentals of editing and proofreading,
respectively.
Aside from AFPDDC personnel who
attended the training activity, other personnel present came
from the J-Staffs such as OJ1, OJ3 and OJ8; GHQ & HSC; and
the Resource and Management Office (RMO).
In his keynote speech during the simple
closing ceremony, COL RAFAEL A DE HITTA PA, the Chief of the AFPDDC thanked
the stakeholders present , as he announced that his office will be
replicating the same activity in the regions to drumbeat awareness on the
importance of AFP Doctrines that follow a uniform outline or system.
