AFP gets ready for 28th National Reservist Week
Preparations are now in full swing for the 28th National Reservist Week (NRW) in September. The AFP Reserve
Command (AFPRESCOM) is spearheading the preparations, in coordination with the RESCOM's of the three major service branches
- the Army, Air Force, and the Navy. NRW brings together representatives from all AFP reserve units throughout the country,
to discuss current issues about the reserve movement, and to encourage feedback on the relationship between the regular AFP,
the national government, and the so-called "citizen-soldiers" of the country.
WELCOME to the home of the AFP Reserve!
