The 1st QC Technical & Administrative Services Battalion, 105th Technical & Administrative Services Group,[1][2] known officially as First Force Support Unit, is one of two TAS units of the 105th Technical and Administrative Services Group of the AFP Reserve Command, and is based in Quezon City. The unit provides combat support and service support services to the 1502nd Infantry Brigade (Ready Reserve) of the Army Reserve Command.

History[]

During the early days 2009 several commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers of the 1502nd Infantry Brigade studied the possibility of raising the actual unit strength of their unit to full brigade status. With this study came the need to incorporate a service support unit similar to what regular infantry brigades of the Philippine Army in the field.

LTC SAL G DUMABOK MNSA (GSC) RES PA - deputy brigade commander of the 1502IBDE(RR) instructed then 1LT VIRGILIO S FERRER II (RES) PA to coordinate with the AFP Reserve Command and seek their assistance with the possibility of creating or service detailing a unit of the Technical Services (Reserve) with their reserve unit. Their efforts yielded approval from AFPRESCOM and the 105th Technical and Administrative Services Group under the command of LTC PETER C SUCHIANCO RES (GSC) JAGS authorized the creation of unit that will provide service support to the 1502nd.

In 2013 1LT FERRER then decided to pursue a career as a Military Lawyer and resigned his commissioned with the Philippine Army Reserves and was subsequently re-commissioned as a Major with the Reserve AFP Judge Advocate General Corps. By 1 February 2014, the Quezon City TAS Unit was activated with MAJ VIRGILIO S FERRER II (RES) JAGS as its commanding officer and CPT CARLO BERNABE (RES) JAGS as its executive officer.
