COURSE PROPOSAL
1. Course Title: Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection and Security Course 2. Background: a. The Army in general has various experiences of incidents wherein detachments, command post, convoys, operating units, military personnel, etc. were either successfully ambushed or attacked resulting to loss of life, equipment and destruction of property. b. In response to these incidents, the Army has published numerous directives and policies pertaining to procedures on how to prevent and avert such incidents. c. However, such directives and policies are not properly disseminated and implemented which accounted for the same incidents to recur. d. In view of this, the TIS initiated an effort to come up with a course/program design which focused on FORCE PROTECTION and SECURITY. 3. Course Objectives: a. The AT/FP Security Course is a security program designed to prevent and deny a successful attack of any terrorist group (Abu Sayyaf Group, CNN, rogue members of MILF and MNLF) to any active member of the Philippine Army (Officers, Enlisted personnel, civilian employees, their dependents), its equipment and installations. b. Further, this course is also designed to protect any active member of the Philippine Army (Officers, Enlisted personnel, civilian employees, their dependents, equipment and installations) including its equipment and installations in all locations and situations. 4.
