PURPOSE

 This Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit

Active Auxiliary (CAA)/Special Citizen Armed Force
Geographical Unit Active Auxiliary (SCAA)
handbook aimed to update and enhance the
administration and operational awareness of the
CAA unit commanders and personnel involved in
management and supervision of CAAs/SCAAs.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

PURPOSE

 For more than decades, they have been our

cutting edge in the maintenance of Peace and
Security in areas that regular AFP troops cannot
occupy because of strength limitations.

 We cannot overemphasize the role of

CAAs/SCAAs in the overall Integrated Territorial
Defense System (ITDS).

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

LIMITATION OF CAA

They don't have S1 section.

They cannot conduct checkpiont with out
regular army.
They cannot conduct patrol with out NCO
or regular army.
They cannot conduct operation off their
own.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

RATIONALE

 The growth of insurgency has greatly

influenced the mission statement of the AFP. As a
consequence, military capability development was
greatly hindered making the AFP unable to achieve
the competency level and modernization compare to
other armed forces within the Asia-Pacific region
have attained.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

RATIONALE

 Government has poured in too many

resources and any lives have perished because of
this long drawn conflict which up to this date
remains unresolved.

 This internal problem we face has put a lot of

people impoverished and as a third world nation
struggling to rise, the delivery of basic needs to the
people and bringing in foundations for a better
future cannot cope with the demand.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

RATIONALE

 Thus emerges the “Rising Expectation

Syndrome” (RES) which represents vicious cycle of
condition for conflict and potential for insurgency
growth.

 The AFP has been doing and will do its role of

confronting the insurgent armed component but it
can only do this far. Getting all acts together with the
civilian sector is an important thing. One act leading
to another is a rational conclusion.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

RATIONALE
 The point of no return for the AFP involvement
for this conflict that apparently is ab initio can be
absolute because of the so-called RES, which is
very conducive and afflictive for subversion in the
present situation.

 A priori convictions mesmerized by a posteriori

awareness provide the impetus of change.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

 RATIONALE
 The blueprint of government programs provide
for peoples’ involvement. Even the AFP has adopted
organizational changes to cater to the people wanting
to resist forces to destabilize and overthrow this
government and enhance their involvement to fight
against this threat.
The utilization of military auxiliaries from the AFP
reserve forces is one manifestation of this deliberate
move for people’s involvement. The necessary AFP
infrastructures, being modified, indicate its sincerity to
ameliorate the security conditions.
SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA
RATIONALE

 The country’s insurgency problem was

almost brought down by the Lambat Bitag strategic
concept by mid 1990s. This prompted the political
leadership to turn over the ISO responsibility from
the AFP to the PNP because the trend of insurgent
defeat then seemed irreversible.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

RATIONALE
 Resulting thereof, a substantial cut on the
AFP budget took effect. “OPLAN DIASPORA” of
the defense department was implemented to
decrease AFP spending and the first to be
affected is the CAA/SCAA strength. From the
target ceiling of 150,000 CAA for counter
insurgency, its current strength then of 75,000
CAA was decreased to 32,000 nationwide and the
money spared out of this reduction was spent for
development projects.

SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL, SFR(A), SOCOM, PA

RATIONALE
 Development projects however, could not
cope with people’s expectations for service
deliverance that caused continuous unrest among
the poorer sector of society.
 In 1998, ISO responsibility reverted to the
AFP, and concomitantly, in an effort to restore
peace and security within the communities in
remote areas, re-established the Integrated
Territorial Defense System (ITDS) making use of
the remaining CAA/SCAA as its force multipliers
at the outset.
