-	==Training==	+
-	The army operates a variety of schools for its arms and branches. The Army Training Command is located at Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija, north of Manila. The training command provides basic training for enlisted personnel and officers and advanced training in some specialties such as infantry and artillery. Specialized training in other areas, such as armor, intelligence, and engineering, is the responsibility of service extension schools operated by the commanders of those army units. Many soldiers, however, never attend centralized military schools, but instead are trained by army divisions at basic training centers throughout the country.	+
