Philippine, Australian armies wrap up Exercise Kasangga

The First Scout Ranger Regiment (FSRR) and the 3rd Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) concluded Exercise Kasangga 22-02 on October 25, 2022, at Camp Pablo Tecson, San Miguel, Bulacan.
 
The bilateral exercise bolstered defense ties and strengthened interoperability between the two armies in urban and jungle operations. Around 440 training participants trained side-by-side in urban combat operations and exchanged expertise in jungle operations, reconnaissance, mortar training, combat medic, drone operation, and anti-armor training.
 
Australian troops also underwent a training program in Filipino indigenous martial arts, Pekiti Tirsia Kali, and Combat Tracking Training which helped sharpen jungle operations.
 
FSRR Commander Brig. Gen. Freddie T. Dela Cruz and Col. Paul Robert Barta who represented the Australian envoy to the Philippines on behalf of Ms. Hae Kyong Yu, led the closing ceremony that capped the nearly two-month-long bilateral drills held at the FSRR headquarters. Exercise Kasangga is an approved Philippine-Australian defense engagement for 2022.
