5-Day CBT-TM Training for the 106th Infantry Battalion Team
The Philippine Army continuously strives to enhance the capabilities of its personnel, not only in combat operations but also in the areas of instruction, leadership, and community engagement. In line with this goal, the 106th Infantry Battalion recently participated in a 5-day competency-based training in training methodology (CBT-TM). The training was designed to provide officers and enlisted personnel with the necessary tools to effectively facilitate and deliver structured training programs, in accordance with the standards set by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
This initiative reflects the Army’s commitment to holistic development, ensuring that soldiers are not only combat-ready but also equipped with the skills to teach, guide, and empower both their fellow troops and the communities they serve.
