Pangungunahan ni Flag-Officer-in-Command Vice Admiral Ferdinand Golez at Marine Commandant Maj. Gen. Juancho Sabban ang mga binibini para sa pagbibigay ng inspirasyon sa mga sundalong sasabak sa labanan.
Ayon kay Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo, tagapagsalita ng Navy/Marines, ang mga sundalo ay kabahagi ng kanilang elite force at mananatili ng 60-araw o dalawang buwan sa Sulu.
Partikular na guguwardiyahan ng mga sundalo ang karagatang nakapalibot sa iba’t-ibang lugar sa Mindanao kung saan mayroong presensiya ng Abu Sayyaf habang tinutugis ng mga kapwa nilang sundalo ang mga ito sa kalupaan.
Kasama sa mga idedeploy ang isang kumpanya ng Marines na ang destinasyon ay sa Basilan.
Sa kautusan ni Armed Forces chief Gen. Delfin Bangit, nag-deploy na ng isang batalyon ng elite forces si Army chief Lt. Gen. Reynaldo Mapagu sa Sulu para tugisin at lipulin ang mga bandidong Abu Sayyaf.

Naval, local forces rescue trawler
Manila Bulletin, Sunday, March 21, 2010

Combined elements of the Philippine Navy (PN) and local security forces in Tawi-Tawi have rescued a Malaysian fishing trawler hijacked earlier in Sabah, Malaysia.
Rear Admiral Alexander Pama, Naval Forces Western Mindanao ( NFWM) commander and head of Joint Task Force Trillium (TF Trillium), in a report to Vice Admiral Ferdinand Golez, the Navy’s Flag Officer-In-Command (FOIC), Philippine Navy, said the Royal Malaysian Navy Area II Commander, First Admiral Anui has notified his office that a Malaysian registered vessel with six crew members was hijacked near Tigabu Island, Sabah, Malaysia by four suspected robbers at around 2:00 a.m. Tuesday
The hijackers were reportedly asking for a 150,000 Malaysian Ringgit as ransom. Pama said upon receipt of the information, he immediately coordinated with the local officials in Mapun and Taganak areas, and dispatched BRP Cebu (PS28) backed by a patrol craft with elements of the Marines from Marine Battalion Landing
Team (MBLT)2 on board.
“Immediate action of these Fleet-Marine Forces resulted to the early release of the fishing boat to its owners in Sabah on Wednesday in Malaysia,” said Pama.
“The decisive move pressured the hijackers into fleeing back to Sabah and release the trawler to its owners,” he added.
Pama noted the successful operation is attributed to the good relations the Royal Malaysian Navy and Philippine Navy has with its counterpart with other navies in the region.
“With a united stand and cooperation against terrorism and transnational crimes, Asians are assured of a peaceful and secured maritime environment. The Navy is always ready to respond to people in distress regardless of race and color. It is part of its commitment to the international community of providing security to local and national vessels transiting our waters,” according to Pama.
Meanwhile, Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo, Navy spokesman, also reported the recovery of a kidnap victim by Marine elements in Lamitan City, Basilan.
Arevalo said based on reports reaching the Navy headquarters in Manila, the victim, Examinda Lindio, was seized by a lone suspect March 13 at the vicinity of the public market of Sitio Oval, Barangay Matibay, Lamitan City.

Kampo ng ASG, nabawi ng militar
Saksi, Monday, March 15, 2010
ZAMBOANGA CiTY -Patuloy pa rin
ang ginagawang clearing operations ng militar
sa basilan, kasunod sa pagkakakubkob sa isang training al homb-making
camp ng bandidong Abu Sayyaf" sa kabunudkan ng Brgy. Baiwas sa bayan ng
Sumisip. Kinumpirma ngayun ni Task Force Trillium chief, Rear Admiral
Alexander Pama, ang malaking accomplishment ng tropa ng gobyerno nitong
nakaraang Linggo lamang. Ayon sa opisyal, nabawi ng mga sundalo ang kampo ng mga
bandido sa area na kung tawagin ay "Hill 850" Makalipas ang ilang oras na engkuwentro.
Sa naturang pangyayari, 3 sa mga ASG members ang nasawi at 12 iba pa ang sugatan sa encounter. Samantala sa hiwalay na pahayag, sinabi naman ni Brig. Gen. Eugenio CLemen, 1st Marine Brigade chief, na ang nasabing Abu Sayyaf camp ay kaya umanong mag-accomodate nang may 100 katao at napapalibutan ng mga booby traps gaya ng mga improvised bombs at landmines.
Narekober din ng militar mula sa kampo ang ilang "training and indoctrination manuals" mga blasting caps, rifle grenades at ilang empty shells ng M-16, Armalite rifles, maliban dito, nakuha din sa lugar and isa ng listahan ng mga contact numbers at subscriber identification module (SIM) Cards,. Batay sa intelligence report, ang naturang kampo umano ay nasa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Abu Sayyaf leader Kair Mundos, kung saan sinasanay ang mga ASG at Jemaah islamiyah(JI) militants sa pag-gawa ng mga bomba. Sa exclusive interview ni Bombo Analy Soberano ngayong umaga kay Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief, Lt. Gen. Benjamin Dolorfino, tiniyak naman ng opisyal na tuloy-tuloy pa ang gagawin nilang offensive operations ng pamahalaan laban sa ASG. "Malaking bagay ang pagkakakubkob natin sa kampo ng Abu Sayyaf at sa katunayan ay napakaraming improvised explosive device ang narekober ng troops natin.
"As far as the campaign against terrorism, relentless efforts natin," ani Dolorfino.
