Brigadier General Arnel Dela Vega formally took over the command of the 6th Infantry “Kampilan” Division based in Camp Siongco, Datu Odin Sinsuat town, Maguindanao Thursday.

The former Joint Task Force Sulu commander took over the helm of the 6th ID from his classmate Major General Carlito Galvez Jr., who is the new chief of the Western Mindanao Command. Both belong to Philippine Military Academy “Sandiwa” Class 1985.

The assumption of command ceremony was graced by Army chief Lieutenant General Glorioso Miranda.

Dela Vega used to command the 603rd Infantry Brigade and was credited for helping defuse several clan feuds, or rido, in Maguindanao’s first district.

The 6th ID’s area of responsibility covers the provinces of Maguinadano, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat Cotabato City.
