Combat Engineering Brigade Kicks Off Six-Day Incident Command and Emergency Operations Training

The Installation Management Command (IMC), in partnership with the Combat Engineering Brigade (CEB), formally commenced the six-day Basic Incident Command System (BICS) and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Training Courses with an Opening Ceremony held on 03 August 2026 at the Combat Engineering Brigade Multi-purpose Hall. The activity brought together forty (40) participants composed of personnel from the Naval Installation Command (NIC) and the Combat Engineering Brigade, reaffirming the Philippine Navy's commitment to strengthening disaster preparedness, emergency response, and inter-agency coordination.

The training is being facilitated by CDR Sio Eng O. Baximen PN, Director for Emergency Response, together with seven (7) Subject Matter Experts from the Office of Civil Defense headed by Dr. Aurora D. Dela Rosa, whose expertise and guidance will equip the participants with the knowledge and practical competencies necessary to effectively respond to emergencies and disasters through a unified and coordinated command system.

Serving as the Keynote Speaker during the Opening Ceremony, CAPT Rey Leo Z. Pambid PN(GSC), Deputy Commander, Combat Engineering Brigade, warmly welcomed the participants and emphasized that the training is far more than a professional requirement—it is an investment in saving lives and protecting communities when disasters strike.

In his inspiring message, CAPT Pambid underscored that disasters arrive without warning and demand immediate, coordinated, and decisive action. He stressed the importance of maximizing the Golden Hour, where every second counts, every decision matters, and every responder must understand not only his or her individual role but also the greater mission of working under one command structure toward one common objective.

He further highlighted that the Incident Command System (ICS) and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) are essential operational frameworks that enable responders from different organizations to function as one cohesive team through effective communication, efficient resource management, coordinated decision-making, and unified leadership during emergencies. As members of the Philippine Navy, he reminded the participants that they are expected to respond rapidly, lead decisively, and serve compassionately whenever the nation calls.

CAPT Pambid likewise encouraged the participants to maximize every learning opportunity throughout the six-day course by actively participating, sharing experiences, and developing the competence, confidence, and teamwork necessary to perform effectively during actual disaster response operations. He emphasized that preparedness is not measured by the certificates earned but by the ability to make sound decisions, coordinate effectively, and save lives when confronted with real emergencies.
Expressing his appreciation to the Office of Civil Defense and all instructors, facilitators, and organizers, CAPT Pambid recognized the value of sustained collaboration among government agencies in building a more resilient nation and strengthening the country's collective disaster response capability.

As the participants embark on six days of intensive lectures, practical exercises, and collaborative learning, the Combat Engineering Brigade continues to strengthen its disaster response capability by investing in its most valuable asset its people.
This capability-building initiative forms part of the Combat Engineering Brigade's continuing efforts under the leadership of Commodore Jeff Rene S. Nadugo PN, Commander, Combat Engineering Brigade, to strengthen disaster response readiness, enhance inter-agency interoperability, and advance the Philippine Navy's Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) capabilities in service to the Filipino people.

Through continuous education, strong partnerships, and operational excellence, the Combat Engineering Brigade remains committed to building a force that is mission-ready, people-centered, and always prepared to respond whenever and wherever the nation calls, ensuring that every lesson learned today becomes a foundation for protecting lives, safeguarding communities, and serving the Filipino people with professionalism, courage, and compassion.
