Their mission is to conduct sustained Internal Security Operations (ISO) in Northern Luzon to neutralize the Communist-Terrorist Movement (CTM) and reduce their operational capabilities. One of their missions is to support local Law Enforcement as well as the Philippine National Police in containing the NPA while supporting the peace process; and destroy the JI network operating in their AOR. This is needed to establish a secured entry point to mainland Luzon from the North and maintain a physically & psychologically sound environment conducive to growth and development in this northernmost part of the island.
