The capability of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in retaking an airfield overran by the enemies, and operating on an urban terrain was the highlight of the on-going DAGIT-PA joint exercises 2019 here at Fort Magsaysay on Monday.

The first phase of the event included an 8,000-feet free fall by members of the Philippine Marines and Special Operations Command from military helicopters.

Primary forces, composed of Army’s one Infantry Company aboard a separate military aircraft, were then able to land on the airfield with the help of the control tower manned by allied forces as they went on to secure the air strip. According to Lieutenant Colonel Sonny Dungca, Education and Training officer of the Army’s Special Operations Command , the airfield seizure and military operation on urban terrain showcased the enhanced interoperability of the Army, Navy and Air Force.

“We must be interoperable, nagkakaintindihan dapat ang tatlong major services. We were also able to exchange expertise kasi kanya kanya naman ang aming specialization,” Dungca said.
