Aabot sa 257 sundalong Pinoy ang sinanay ng Australian Army sa urban combat operation bilang bahagi ng pagpapaigting ng kakayahan ng ating militar laban sa mga terorista, kasunod ng limang-buwang Marawi siege noong nakaraang taon.
Paliwanag ni Major General Noel Clement, 10th Infantry Division commander, nakatuon ang ibinigay nilang dalawang-linggong extreme training sa Urban Close Combat, Search and Breach Operation, Managing Combat Trauma, Communication Operation, Command and Control sa Urban Operation, Sniping at Counter-Sniping at Joint Fires and Airspace Deconfliction.
“With threats evolving and becoming more aggressive in utilizing any means to conduct terrorism in the country, our thrust of protecting the people and securing communities must be recalibrated and should be added with much needed knowledge and skills to address terrorist threat,” ayon kay Clement.
