4th Scout Ranger Battalion to bolster anti-insurgency campaign in Samar

Around 400 soldiers who are part of the 4th Scout Ranger Battalion arrived at the Calbayog City Port in Samar on December 11, 2022 to bolster the 8th Infantry Division's (8ID) anti-insurgency campaign in Eastern Visayas.

8ID Commander Maj. Gen. Camilo Z. Ligayo led the welcome ceremony for the battalion led by Lt. Col. Ricarte Dayata. "Remain alert and vigilant as you join our fight against the communist terrorists here in Eastern Visayas. I trust that everyone remains mission-oriented and always respects human rights, adhere to the international humanitarian law and the rule of law as you proceed to your area of operations," he remarked.

The 4th Scout Ranger Battalion—which earlier helped in the anti-insurgency campaign in the Caraga region in northeastern Mindanao—will be deployed to Northern Samar where four CTG fronts are still active. Prior to their Eastern Visayas deployment, the Scout Rangers underwent battalion retraining in Australia to bolster their air-to-ground combat and small-unit operation capabilities.
