The Philippine Army deactivated the 8th Cavalry Company and activated its 1st Tank Battalion at Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac on April 21, 2022.
The deactivated 8th Cavalry Company will form the “nucleus” of the activated tank battalion. The said company played a vital role in the military’s victory against ISIS-inspired terrorists that attacked Marawi City in 2017.
The battalion will be composed of newly acquired and upcoming assets such as 18 Sabrah ASCOD light tanks, 10 Pandur 8x8 wheeled light tanks, a command vehicle, a recovery vehicle, and a tank gunnery simulator acquired under the AFP Revised Modernization Program’s Horizon 2.
