To test its responsiveness in times of terrorism attacks, the Joint Task Force Haribon Group conducted an anti-terrorism simulation exercise at the Task Force Davao Headquarters at the Sta. Ana Wharf on March 8.
The simulation exercise was participated in by elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Units namely, the
Philippine Navy, Philippine Air Force and the Philippine Army.
They created a scenario where a terrorist group managed to infiltrate through the sea that led to the taking of a hostage.
With the task force’s interoperability and exceptional cooperation and teamwork when it came to communications and action in the field, they were able to rescue the hostage being held by the would-be terrorists.
“Assessing the exercise done by the task force earlier, I am confident that Davao City is well-secured for threats that are perpetrated by the terrorist groups,” said Benito De Leon, Head of the Public Safety Security Command Center of Davao City.
The simulation exercise will be a series of activities that will test the responsiveness of the Task Force in times of danger and terrorism attacks and will take place in different parts of Davao City.
