MANILA: The Philippine Army (PA) is all set to host the 32nd Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Armies Rifles Meet (AARM) slated from Nov. 12 to 23, 2024. This came after Tuesday's comprehensive inspection of facilities at Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, which will be the venue of the competition, by representatives of the participating nations, PA spokesperson Col. Louie Dema-ala said in statement Wednesday. "Representatives from participating ASEAN armies inspected the newly refurbished Grandstand as well as the shooting ranges at the Marksmanship Training Center (MTC) in Camp O'Donnell," he added. The theme of this year's edition of the AARM, 'Strengthening Partnership and Camaraderie Towards Regional Stability", underscores the annual shoot fest's importance as a cultural and diplomatic landmark. Representatives also endorsed the Rule Book that will govern the shooting competition and established the agenda and other requirements for the ASEAN Chiefs of Army Multilateral Meeting (ACAMM) and the ASEAN Army Sergeant Majors Annual Meeting (ASMAM). The Philippine Army Shooting Contingent - known for its moniker 'Manunudla' (shooter in Filipino) - earlier bagged a back-to-back third-place ranking in the 30th and 31st AARM editions. The PA shooters are experts in pistol, carbine, rifle and machine gun. Source: Philippines News Agency
