Sa tanan nga special forces ang ako nadunggan nga taas ug combat experience, ug kahadlokan sa milf sa ako yutang natawhan sa Mindanao mao ang scout rangers kay hilom daw ayo motrabaho ug surpresa ayo kaayo mo attack. Makadungog na gani ng MILF ug ranger mangurog gyud kay iring-iring man na sila. Mosulod ra ba gyud ug kampo.

ang tawag sa mga scout ranger sa mga MILF kay scout-miming (acording sa ako kaila nga MI sauna)... they tend to operate at night thats why mas lisod sila contrahon...

by the here is a good read/discussion about the AFP-MILF 2000 Campaign - AFP-MILF 2000 War in Mindanao Remembered

heres a quote from an officer who there that time,,,

Camp Abubakar had seven layers of defense...so how are you going to breach that defense? Do it one by one and yes the AFP did it and in record time.

this guys should be tested on the battle grounds of Iraq and Afghanistan.

When we send troops to Iraq as part of Multi-National forces helping to re-build iraq, our contigent was ambushed (wala kay ni na media but it was discussed on a defense forum by the people who where there), thanks to one stupid filipino...

... hmmm. light reaction company is to the army or navy i think. SAF or special action force is to the PNP man gihapon, but before SAF was the philippines constabulary (PC) but later absorb to PNP during cory time.

as to ordinary police ang gipasulong. it was not. those guys where the manila swat team. not ordinary according to there names. they just lack training on bus hostage takings.

Light Reaction Company n.k.a. Light Reaction Battalion is under PASOCOM together with the FSSR and Special Forces

Special Action Force, is the main PNP CT/COIN unit, and it can be traced its root back to PC

as of now dili pa ready ang PNP mo resume sa ilang mandate about sa counter-insurgency! thats why naa ghapon sa AFP

Light Reaction Battalion














The Light Reaction Battalion is the lead counter-terrorist unit of the Philippine Army. It was formerly known as the Light Reaction Company. Its creation was primarily credited to a $25 million grant by the US Department of State used for the battalion's formation

History

The Scout Ranger Regiment was born on November 25, 1950 under the command of former AFP Vice Chief of Staff and Defense Secretary Rafael M. Ileto. Named after both the Alamo Scouts and the US Army Rangers, the unit was created due to a growing need to counter the Hukbalahap guerrillas with a force trained in small unit actions. Scout Rangers participated in the December 1989 coup attempt against the Aquino administration. Led by Cpt. Danilo Lim, Maj Abraham Purugganan and Lt. Col. Rafael Galvez, some 500 Rangers took over Makati in the most destructive coup attempt against the Aquino administration, which left hundreds of civilians and soldiers dead, and hundreds more injured.
They also figured in the July 2003 Oakwood mutiny, with four Scout Rangers – Capt. Albert T. Baloloy, Capt. Gerardo Orpilla Gambala, Capt. Milo Discutido Maestrecampo, and Capt. Laurence Louis Bumatay Somera – tagged as plotters from a group of renegade 26 Scout Rangers.[5] 1st Lt. Lawrence San Juan, one of the four escaped Magdalo soldiers who was recently arrested, is also a Scout Ranger. During the first quarter of 2006, the scout ranger name was again dragged into the lime light when its Commanding General, BGEN Danilo Lim AFP, openly declared his withdrawal of support to the Arroyo Administration calling upon other units of the AFP to pull out their support for the government.
With the rise of guerrilla and terrorist activities in the Philippines, the Scout Rangers have teamed up with the Light Reaction Battalion to take on more responsibility in internal security duties

i dont know if its true, most of the soldiers under LRB are using colt m4. the same m4 used by americans.
