A total of 164 troops received the “Tabak” badge during the Scout Ranger Course (SRC) graduation rite at Camp Pablo Tecson, San Miguel, Bulacan on January 17, 2023.
1001st Infantry Brigade Commander Brig. Gen. Jesus P. Durante III, who served as the ceremony’s guest of honor and speaker, lauded the 164 troops who belong to SRC Class 218-22.
"I would like to congratulate all the members of the class for earning the prestigious Tabak. When you go back to the field prove the skill, stamina and spirit of a Scout Ranger and deliver the combat excellence and discipline you gained during your training," Brig. Gen. Durante said in his remarks.
For more than seven decades, Scout Rangers—known for their moniker “Musangs”—have shown true grit and audacity on the battlefield. The Musangs have never wavered in leading the way and delivering decisive results in combat operations against enemies of the state.
