Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU) Filipino militiamen participate in combat exercise with Army regulars. March 2022

CAFGU is an auxiliary force that works alongside the Armed Forces of the Philippines in securing far flung communities from local insurgents and rebels. They typically recruit men from the surrounding area, and are given older equipment such as M1 Garands, and M14 Battle Rifles.

They never work independently, and are often attached as additional manpower to regular Armed Forces of the Philippines Army units. The man in the center with the M16 is likely their acting squad leader or instructor for the exercise, an NCO from the Army.

FF(G)-151 BRP Antonio Luna departure ceremony for RIMPAC 2022.


With her compliment of C-STAR Anti-Ship Missiles already installed.


Another interesting tidbit is the big red "K" painted on her mast. This is widely believed to be the equivalent to the USN's Battle (E) Effectiveness" competition award that's given to ships.


The "K" meaning "Kahusayan (Exellence), and the red signifies Engineering and Survivability excellence award.
