kailangan din siguro, ng radio operators from PAF, para at least may com sa air support to pinpoint targets, parang sa isang WW2 history na nabasa ko. It was in Europe, american soldiers unable to find german tanks hidden, and the only in finding those tigers & protect the US armored collumn, they where supported by P-47s & P-51Ds, ang problema: di alam kung saan yung target at mali yung tawag nung kanilang radioman dun sa mga planes, resulta: tumama nga sa target, kasama namang tinamaan yung friendlies, kaya nag-employ sila ng USAAF pilots as forward air controller sa ground para magbigay ng exact location at posistion ng kalaban. by the way, most of those flyboy where on board shermans. malay natin...baka effectiveyon at since grounded pa rin yung mga Defenders..

We do not know if it was just a device malfunction either. It just might also be a problem of the people involved in the incident -- and is, therefore not a reflection of the state of training with the AFP as a whole. My point is, let us not be so hasty and scathing in our criticsm -- especially amongst those of us who are merely arm chair generals. There's enough of that going on in the media and in congress. Let us be objective in our analysis, stick to the available facts, and never assume. The latter would be a dis-service to the people who join fora like PDFF to learn the truth about the AFP, as an alternative to the junk that they get in the media. Peace. |

Looking at my Father's notes in Basic Seaman Course which includes MOS. I did not see any MOS pertaining to provide NGFS. The nearest MOS is the Radioman (RM - Communication), Gunner's Mate (GM - Fire Support). Having the FAC encompasses the basics - communication, fire support delivery and navigation (coordinates)

Good point. Nonetheless, let us not jump into comclusion that we are just criticizing them for fun as well. THE MILITARY MUST REALIZE THAT THE CRITICISMS ARE NEEDED TO IDENTIFY LOOPHOLES OR LAPSES IN THE SYSTEM, SO THAT THEY MAY BE COMPELLED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ONCE IDENTIFIED. Let's not hope their ego will not turn them into stubborn rusty soldiers. In the first place, there have been a lot of blunders that killed many of our soldiers anyway. Also, there was a problem with communication. Either, it was material or the process. That's what the men in uniform and those who make the decisions should look into in order to prevent the same blunder from happeniong again. The forum is here to help them identify the problems so they (or the people on top who make the decisions) maybe compelled to fix it. :thumb: |

This was noticed during the aftermath of MILF war in 2000 thru this article but how come it was not fully practised? http://www.philippinemarinecorps.mil.ph/c6_FO.html
