Light Reaction Regiment
The Light Reaction Regiment is the lead counter-terrorist unit of the Philippine Army. It was formerly known as the Light Reaction Battalion and Light Reaction Company. Its creation was primarily credited to a $25 million grant by the US Department of State used for the regiment's formation.〔"Stuff">(Philippine soldiers show off what they learned from the Green Berets. ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008.〕
== History ==
The Light Reaction Regiment can trace its origins back to the year 2000 when non-commissioned officers from the Scout Rangers and Philippine Army Special Forces were trained by American military advisers from the 1st Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group.〔 From February to July 2001,〔(Operation Enduring Freedom-Philippines: What Would Sun Tzu Say? ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008.〕 American special forces trained and raised the former LRC with further training during the 2002 Balikatan exercises,〔('Shoulder to Shoulder'. Combatting Terrorists in the Philippines. ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008.〕 whose members were first drawn from the Scout Rangers and 1st Special Forces Regiment.〔 After days and years of training under American instructors, the LRC was officially activated on February 1, 2004〔Combat Magazine, March 2008. Page 41.〕 and was tasked to be deployed into Mindanao in order to combat Abu Sayyaf Group terrorists responsible for abducting several foreign hostages,〔 with the unit conducting an operation to rescue Gracia Burnham from Abu Sayyaf terrorists.〔(Philippines since 1945. ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008〕 Further exercises had been conducted during the 2006 Balikatan exercises.〔(Philippine, U.S. SOF sharpen skills. ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008.〕 The LRB had been involved in a rescue operation conducted on a kidnapped Italian priest by armed men in 2007.〔(ITALIAN ENVOY HAPPY FOR MILITARY'S EFFORT TO RESCUE ITALIAN PRIEST BOSSI. ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008.〕
The unit had recently been involved in the aftermath of the Manila Peninsula rebellion, where they had been deployed to Manila to deter any other coup attempts.〔〔(AFP beefs up Metro troops as threat remains ‘active’. ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008.〕 In addition, LRB forces have been deployed to Mindanao to conduct anti-terrorist operations in the region.〔(No cut in US military aid. ) Retrieved on January 2, 2008.〕
The unit was renamed the LRB from the former Light Reaction Company to adapt to the increase in the unit's manpower and to pursue Anti-Terrorist duties in the Philippines. In 2014, the unit was again renamed into the Light Reaction Regiment due to its heroic stand in Zamboanga in September 2013. Its elevation to a full regiment was formally sanctioned by Defense Secretary Gazmin on January 16, 2014.
