Unregistered	More Scout Rangers to run after NPA rebels on Negros Is. By GILBERT BAYORAN TODAY Correspondent BACOLOD CITY - More than 500 of the Army’s elite combat-tested Scout Rangers, who are veterans in the campaign against Abu Sayyaf bandits and Muslim secessionists in Mindanao, will soon fight New People’s Army (NPA) guerrillas on Negros Island. This came after renewed clashes between the communist guerrillas and patrolling soldiers on Thursday in barangay Camindangan, Sipalay City, which killed militiaman Regie Pasuelme. Two helicopter gunships from Mactan Air base in Cebu are now joining soldiers of the 61st Infantry Battalion in the conduct of pursuit operations against the estimated 20 NPA rebels encountered by government forces. Meanwhile, Lt. Col. Noel Buan, a former captive of the NPA Melito Glor Command, was designated commander of the newly formed Scout Ranger Battalion, expected to arrive today at the port of Amlan town in Negros Oriental. Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sodusta, 303rd Infantry Brigade (IB) commanding general, has confirmed the arrival of more soldiers on Negros. The seven Army Ranger companies from Samar, Leyte, Bohol, Cebu and Panay will be consolidated into a battalion upon their arrival, Capt. Gulliver Señires, 303rd IB spokesman, said. more

Almost all members of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 17th and 19th SR Companies to be deployed on Negros were earlier assigned in Mindanao in the fight against Abu Sayyaf bandits, Moro Islamic Liberation Front fighters and kidnap-for-ransom groups.

Good hunting gentlemen!

Its mission is to defeat its enemies, ruthlessly and completely. Its an instrument of controlled fury, designed to visit death and destruction of its foes...soldiers must have steel in their souls ..must learn in war to kill and not to flinch, to destroy and not to feel pity, to be a flaming sword in the righteous cause of national survival. -BG Lee , 1984
