PORMAL nang nagtalaga ang pamunuan ng Philippine Army ng bagong pinuno para sa Army 10th Infantry ‘Agila’ Division (10ID) na nakabase sa Camp General Manuel Yan, Mawab, Davao de Oro.
Kasunod ito ng Change of Command and Retirement Ceremony na pinangunahan ni Philippine Army Commanding General, Lt. Gen. Jose C. Faustino Jr.
Si. Mgen Ernesto Torres ang humalili sa nagretirong si Maj. Gen. Reuben S Basiao.
Malugod namang tinanggap ng 10th Infantry Division si Mgen Torres.
Kaakibat nito ang hamon ni Ltgen Fustino na: “To Maj. Gen. Torres, you now play a bigger role. I trust you to build on the good foundations laid by your predecessors and to advance 10ID’s thrusts. To the Agila troopers, may you continue to be a force that our communities can rely on, especially during these trying times.”
Bago ang kanyang assumption bilang 10ID commander, si Mgen. Torres ay nagsilbing commander ng Joint Task Force Haribon ng Eastern Mindanao Command at commander ng Civil Relations Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Nanungkulan din ito bilang Chief of Office of the Army Chief Public Affairs at AFP Public Affairs Office.
Miyembro rin siya ng Philippine Military Academy “Makatao” class of 1989 at may Master’s Degree in Military Arts and Sciences mula sa US Army Command and General Staff College. (JESSE KABEL)
