The Philippine Army is forging a closer military cooperation with the United States as it implements a shift in its operational strategy from internal security to territorial defense.Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., PA commanding general, revealed this during the visit of James Hursch, director of the US Department of Defense’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency , at the Army Headquarters in Fort Bonifacio on Friday, Feb. 24.
“The Army Chief and the DSCA Director also talked about bolstering bilateral training and education programs between the two militaries,” said Col. Xerxes Trinidad, PA spokesperson. But recent security challenges threatening the external defense of the country, such as the tension in the West Philippine Sea, prompted the Army leadership to realign its priorities and change its focus to territorial defense.
