“We should do more such things in the future. For those small islands, only a few troopers are able to station on each of them, but there is no food or even drinking water there. If we carry out the cabbage strategy , you will not be able to send food and drinking water onto the islands. Without the supply for one or two weeks, the troopers stationed there will leave the islands on their own. Once they have left, they will never be able to come back.
All things considered, this is a point won by the Philippines. But only if the Philippines takes the necessary moves to actualize and enlarge the advantage. I would imagine that a 44-man contingent will be a more appropriate force on the BRP Sierra Madre. During its heyday, that ship had accommodations for 266 personnel.
If this were the strategy, it would require robust and prompt systems to put form behind the function. Programs will be designed, personnel will be assigned, logistics will be provided. Of course, the BRP Sierra Madre will have to undergo major repairs and be refurbished. A fresh coat of paint over its rusty body will not only lift the spirits of the Filipino Marines but also lift the eyebrows of the Chinese Coast Guard troops observing their actions.
