Due to improving peace and order situation in Maguindanao, the Philippine Army will be redeploying one of the battalions stationed in the area to Compostela Valley
He said that the redeployment is made possible as the government's peace pact with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) seems to be holding.
“That’s one of the reasons. There’s already a relative peace here except for the intermittent incidents,” Hermoso added in Filipino.
The 6th Infantry Division spokesperson is referring to sporadic harassment attacks perpetuated by members of the "Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters" (BIFF), the group that broke away from the MILF.
“There’s also the exigency and the need… there are other areas around the country wherein the additional presence of Army troops is needed,” Hermoso said.
Ranking military leaders have ordered the transfer of the 46th Infantry Battalion to Compostela Valley , detaching it from the operational control of the 6th Infantry Division and putting it under the control of the 10th Infantry Division, which is based in Compostela Valley
The 46th Infantry battalion is currently based at Camp Waray
