MANILA, Philippines - The youngest officer to command a brigade in the military has been named new chief of Army troops in Basilan, marking the 3rd leadership change in the island-province in 9 months.

The reputation of Col Carlito "Charlie" Galvez Jr precedes him. A 1985 graduate of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), Galvez has received 4 times the military's 3rd highest award, the Gold Cross Medal, for his battlefield victories. He once commanded a Scout Ranger battalion that was assigned in Sulu and Basilan. Beyond operations, he's also armed with a masters degree from Australia and an Eisenhower fellowship.

The 49-year-old Galvez replaced Col Arthur Ang as commander of the Basilan-based 104th infantry brigade; Ang stayed in his post for only around 3 months. Ang was relieved after the killing of 10 Army soldiers in Sumisip town last July 26.

 Godspeed and be like General Bondarenko at Tom Clancy's The Bear and The Dragon; steadfast, a tactical-wise person.

Cheers.
