Marine Base Defense Regiment

The Marine Base Defense Regiment is a combined arms formation whose exact structure is dictated by the mission to which a particular regiment is assigned. The core of the regiment consists of a staff, a mobile antiaircraft battalion and a local defense battalion, as detailed in the chart appended below.

Fixed coast defenses at major naval stations, such as those in Palawan, are placed under the control of the resident Marine Base Defense Regiment, whose establishment is augmented with coast defense artillery companies to man such guns; alternatively, if manned by naval personnel, such naval elements are attached to the resident base defense regiment.

Depending upon mission, the establishment of a base defense regiment may be augmented by additional antiaircraft or local defense troops, or be assigned combat support or service support elements as required.

Marine Mobile Intervention Company

The Marine Mobile Intervention Company is a light infantry unit intended to carry out a rapid response to unexpected threats throughout the National Territory. It is equipped with a minimum of heavy weapons and is not intended to conduct sustained combat operations, but to spearhead counterattacks or conduct raids against an aggressor. The mobile intervention company is equipped and trained to carry out amphibious operations and regularly exercise with amphibious warfare vessels of the Fleet. The nominal structure of a mobile intervention company is detailed in the chart appended below.

Administratively a mobile intervention company may be subordinated to a base defense regiment but is normally retained directly under the control of the Fleet to which it is assigned.
