The Special Forces Regiment (Airborne) celebrated its 60th founding anniversary at its regiment headquarters in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija on June 25, 2022.
Acting Army Vice Commander and concurrent Army Inspector General Maj. Gen. Roy M. Galido —representing Commanding General, Philippine Army (CGPA) Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr.—lauded the regiment’s “silent professionals” for their legendary creed of courage and determination in carrying out their mission.
“Operating throughout our nation’s frontiers, Team SF has served as an indestructible force in confronting the various local and communist terrorist groups in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,” Maj. Gen. Galido said in a speech on behalf of the CGPA.
Maj. Gen. Galido commended the regiment—under the helm of Col. Ferdinand B. Napuli—for the neutralization of 33 enemy personalities, 118 enemy personalities returning to the folds of the law, and the recovery of 189 assorted firearms.
The acting Army Vice Commander also awarded streamers to the unit colors of nine SFR(A) units for combat accomplishments and other significant achievements.
