In order to provide the personnel of the 1st and 2nd Field Artillery Batteries (155 Self-Propelled) with the right knowledge and skills on the newly acquired 155mm Self-Propelled (SP) Howitzer (ATMOS 2000), the Army Artillery Regiment (AAR), Philippine Army stationed at Fort Ramon Magsaysay, Palayan City, Nueva Ecija conducted the opening ceremony of the 155mm SP (ATMOS 2000) In-Country Training on March 14, 2022 with Col Ray Claudio R Abaya GSC (FA) PA, Acting Regiment Commander, as the Keynoter Speaker.

The training composed of 109 students, aims to provide technical and operational understanding of the project’s systems in order to reach the ability to execute a full fire sequence.

During the ceremony, the Acting Regiment Commander highlighted in his message a famous adage “Failing to Prepare, is Preparing to Fail”.  He then reminded the training participants that if they do not prepare, they can never succeed to achieve their desired goal, or might reach the goal but the outcome may be mediocre. “What we will do or what you should do is to prepare profoundly, train religiously so that you will never fail”, Col Abaya concluded.
