The Philippine Army (PA) has been steadily expanding the unmanned aerial system (UAS) capability of its reserve force, underscoring the service's shift toward modernization and a stronger role in external defense.

- By MARTIN SADONGDONG

PA Commanding General Lt. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete witnessed a drone capability exhibition of the Reserve Command (RESCOM) during its 42nd founding anniversary at Camp Riego de Dios in Tanza, Cavite on Monday, Sept. 1.

The RESCOM is one of the first PA units to pioneer drone capabilities, and train organic personnel as drone operators.

Nafarrete said the integration of UAVs into RESCOM highlights the Army’s broader modernization goals and strengthens its ability to respond not only to conventional threats but also to humanitarian crises.
