The 1301st (CAMANAVA) Community Defense Group, National Capital Region Regional Community Defense Group, ARESCOM;[1] is a Line Unit of the NCRRCDG. It was created for the sole purpose of Reserve Force management, procurement, and organisation in the areas encompassing the three (3) cities of Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela. It also serves as the primary mobilization center for units under the operational arm of the 1501st Infantry Brigade (Ready Reserve).
Training[]
Training is the major task handled by the 1301CDC, NCRRCDG, ARESCOM. Its primary arms are the university/college-based Department of Military Science and Tactics-administered mandatory basic and the optional advanced Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC);[2] and the territorial unit-administered Basic Citizen's Military Training (BCMT).
Basic ROTC and BCMT graduates are enlisted as Privates in the Reserve Force, while advanced ROTC graduates are enlisted as Sergeants. Completion of Advance ROTC is considered a graduate qualification in Military Science, and such graduates who subsequently progress to the Probationary Officer Training Course (POTC) are commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants.[2]
Other than time-in-grade and merit promotions, rank adjustments are authorized depending on civilian qualifications, as well as their reciprocity to the operating environment.[3]
Types of Reservists[]
There are currently two types of reservists in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Reserve Force:[4]
- Ready Reservists: physically-fit and tactically-current reservist personnel that are always on constant alert and training; ready to mobilise once a mobilisation order has been given.
- Standby Reservists: reservist personnel who do not maintain currency in specialization qualifications but the base for expansion, support and augmentation to the Ready Reserve Force as needed.

The 1301CDC has several line units under its command, making the administration and training of reservists more compartmentalized and territorial based.
