Joint Special Operations Task Force - Philippines
[JSOTF-P]
Joint Special Operations Task Force - Philippines is an organization established by SOCPAC
in January 2002, when SOCPAC and its
components deployed to the Philippines
as JTF 510. JTF 510’s mission ended in
July 2002 and has transitioned to the
present JSOTF-P.
The JSOTF-P’s mission is to conduct and oversee humanitarian civic action programs and to be the command and control element for the upcoming Security Assistance Modules that are part of the U.S. Pacific Command’s long-term security assistance partnership with the AFP. From August through September 2002, members of the JSOTF-P participated in more than 20 Medical Civic Action Projects (MEDCAPs) on the island of Basilan and in Zamboanga City, Mindanao.
