Exemplifying its commitment to military excellence and operational readiness, the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Unit welcomed officials from the Philippine Army and stakeholders on 23 April, for the highly anticipated Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI) 2026. 

Held at the University oval, the RAATI Team assessed the Unit's readiness, discipline, and operational capabilities. Presided over by Col. George M. Bergonia, Chairman of the RAATI Team, the inspection served as a benchmark for the Unit's compliance with reserve force standards.

The whole-day event commenced with the arrival of honors, followed by a brief orientation and an invocation. In his welcome remarks during the actual program, University President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson emphasized the institution's commitment to producing well-disciplined and civic-minded reserve officers.

“Today’s program is rich with purpose. These exercises will test your leadership under pressure, your decision-making in simulated field conditions, and your ability to function as a cohesive team when it matters most,” Dr. Salunson stressed.

A ceremonial turnover of the ROTC Corps of Cadets and Unit Color to the inspection team chairman formally opened the evaluation process. Following it was a rigorous sequence of military drills: a ceremonial parade, ranks inspection, and close order drill, each testing the cadets' precision and command execution. In the afternoon, the TAU - ROTC Unit demonstrated small unit tactics and military stakes, showcasing its practical field competencies. 

Leading the TAU contingent was Lt. Col. Wilfy P. Jazmin, TAU - ROTCU Commander. His leadership was evident in the cadets' performance, which reflected months of preparation under the National Training Service Program (NSTP) of the University.

The event concluded with the announcement of inspection results, followed by the turnover of the ROTC Corps of Cadets and Unit Color back to the Commandant. With the RAATI 2026 now complete, the Unit looks forward to applying feedback from the RAATI team to further enhance its training and administrative systems in preparation for future regional and national engagements.
