Class
of 1992 > School Year Evaluation |
|
|
|
Much
of the early part of this text is taken from
the Commandant's briefing for the Annual Tactical
Inspection Competition. The evaluation for the
Corps of Sponsors was prepared by the Commander
of the Sponsors organization: Marie Arlene N.
Pastoriza.
This
was the unit's perception of its situation at
the time, and should not be taken as the ADROTH
Project's position.

|
Mission |
|
The
mission of this CMT unit is to train and
develop college students in the rudiments
of military service and produce capable
Armed Forces of the Philippine (AFP) reservists. |
|
Objectives |
|
The
general objectives of the courses of instruction
in the Citizen Military Training Corps
are:
- To
prepare college students for possible
service in the defense establishment
in the event of an emergency
- To
train officers and enlisted reservists
for the reserve components of the AFP
- To
train potential officers for possible
commissionship in the AFP
|
|
Own
Situation |
|
Despite
the numerous constraints that have bedeviled
the unit this past year, it can be said
with little reservation, that it has achieved
all that could be asked of it, and that
it has done its humble share in the accomplishment
of the 11RCDU's overall mission. This is
attributed to the concerted efforts of the
Corps of Cadet Officers, Assistant Military
Instructor, our Dean of Sponsors, and the
school administration as a whole. |
|
Intelligence |
|
Despite
the increase in number of the members
of the Kabataang Makabayan, an infamous,
influencial organization, that in the
past has already managed to oust two Ateneo
ROTC Corps Commanders (SY 71-72), the
intelligence picture is generally positive.
The appeal of the leftist movement in
the campus has ebbed, as evidenced by
the dwindling student participation in
leftist inspired activities. Criminality
has decreased and police personnel have
been enrolled in the College of Arts and
Sciences.
Assistance
is received from the Ateneo Security Team
for Emergency Conditions (ASTEC), an organization
composed of students and faculty (who
were also members of civic groups, e.g.
REACT, Philippine National Red Cross,
Filipino-Chinese Fire Fighters, etc.)
who provide emergency assistance both
within and outside the campus.

Status
of Enrollment |
|
There
was a reduction in the number of enrollees
in the second semester compared with the
first. For Basic CMT cadets, the reduction
was 10% for the fourth class, from a first
semester enrollment of 520 to 468 in the
second semester, 11.73% for the third
class which shrank from 307 in the first
semester to 271 in the second.
For
the Advance, the decrease was 30% for
the second class which dropped from 7
in the first semester to 5 in the second,
and 40% for the first class, from 5 to
3
Enrollment
in the Women's Auxiliary Training Corps
was low. Though enrollment for third class
WATC cadettes (MS-21 & MS-22) has
remained constant, at one enrollee, the
fourth class enrollment has dipped by
33% or one cadette. There were no Advance
WATC enrollees.
|
|
Status
of Training |
|
For
MS-11, 322 cadets or 61.9% of the total
enrolled successfully completed the course.
For MS-21, the figure is 215 or 70%. All
Advance CMT and WATC cadettes completed
their military subjects |
|
Problems |
Webmaster's
note: It should be mentioned
that, at the time, the unit did not recieve
financial subsidies of any kind; no CMT
fee was received from cadets. This this
was undeniably the greatest problem for
unit operations, but it was not included
in the list of problems because at the
time, financial resourcefulness had come
to be expected of cadets.
- Lack
of grandstand / stage.
- Lack
of classrooms for instruction.
- Lack
of a reliable parade ground.
- Lack
of office supplies.
- Lack
of arms rack.
