Mempin gave his directive during the 1st 10th ID command conference held at Balunto Hall, Camp General Manuel T Yan Sr., Mawab, Davao De Oro on January 16.
Mempin singled out the total eradication of the Weakened Guerilla Front 57 as soon as possible.
"Let us remain vigorous and resolute in all our efforts in establishing a culture of security, and deliver a strong message to all forms of threats that they have no place in the entire area of responsibility of Joint Task Force Agila," Mempin said in a statement.
Mempin also emphasized the importance of intelligence-driven operations in hunting down the remaining communist terrorist groups (CTGs).
He also directed his troops to sustain the collaboration with the Local Chief Executives through the respective Task Forces in Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (TF-ELCAC) and other established mechanisms to prevent CTG resurgence and further sustain the gains.
In 2022, 10th ID dismantled 12 NPA units and declared Davao Region as insurgency-free.
Davao Region is the third region in the country which was cleared of communists terrorists presence, the military said.
