In his speech during the turnover of command on Thursday, July 31, Nafarrete emphasized that the support system for soldiers must be dynamic and resilient, recognizing personnel as the Army's most vital asset.

“We are entering an era where wars are not only fought with bullets, but also with bytes. Where borders are tested not just by battalions, but by bandwidths. Where battles can be won or lost through morale, awareness and unity,” he said.
