RAATI is conducted annually by the Philippine Army to assess rigorously the training management, proficiency, and quality of training and education achieved by ROTC cadets. This inspection ensures alignment with national defense protocols and measurement of the cadetsโs skills and mastery acquired during their basic military training under the ROTC course program.
Before the inspection, the ROTC corps of cadets performed a ceremonial turnover of unit color to the Chairman of the Inspection Team followed by an overview of inspection and operational protocols led by Col. Eugene F. Garce (INF) PA.
Under the supervision of National Service Training Program (NSTP) Director Dr. Joven D. Valdez and NSTP Assistant Director Mr. Ronimo G. Ubaldo, the cadets delivered their sharpest and most disciplined performance, executed their absolute best in a drill where they were given situations, and successfully passed all events inspected by a team headed by Col. Garce with the assistance of TAU-ROTC Commandant Lt. Col. Willy P. Jazmin.
The parameters included Admin Inspection, Arrival of Honors, Ceremonial Parade, Inspection in Ranks, Close Order Drill, Map Reading, Weapons, Semaphore Signaling, Knot Tying, Raid/ Ambush Drill, First Aid/ Basic Life Support, and Comprehensive Examination.
In the awarding ceremony, the Inspection Team declared that the training provided by the 3rd Regional Community Defense Group PA was successfully imparted to TAU ROTC Unit.
During the program, TAU President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson conveyed his message and reaffirmed his full support to elevating ROTC standards. โROTC isnโt just a programโitโs a vital force in nation-building, cultivating the disciplined and principled leaders our society needs to thrive,โ he stated.
โRegional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection or RAATI represents the next step in strengthening this legacy. By supporting this endeavor, we invest in the future of ROTC excellenceโensuring that TAU continues to produce cadets who are not only physically and mentally prepared but also deeply committed to the safety and progress of the Philippines,โ Dr. Salunson added.
