105th Technical & Administrative Services Group

The 105th Technical & Administrative Services Group (Reserve), officially known as the Haribon Group, is a technical and administrative services formation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Reserve Command. It is one of five technical and administrative services groups assigned to the 1st Technical and Administrative Services Brigade (Reserve). Based in Quezon City, the group provides combat service support to the 1502nd Infantry Brigade (Ready Reserve) and the 1503rd Infantry Brigade (Ready Reserve) of the Army Reserve Command. Its area of responsibility covers the entirety of Quezon City and Marikina City. Rather than functioning as a conventional maneuver formation, the group supplies specialist personnel and support capabilities for reserve-force operations in its assigned area. Its commissioned officer corps can include professionals directly commissioned under AFP Circular Nos. 4 and 6. The professions identified for service include lawyers and paralegal specialists in the Judge Advocate General Service; medical doctors; nurses; dentists; veterinarians; licensed teachers; allied medical, business, and mass-communication specialists; licensed engineers; and ordained chaplains. The organization includes a headquarters and headquarters service-support company, four line technical and administrative services companies designated A through D, and two forward operating base units. The 1051st Quezon Technical and Administrative Services Unit is assigned to Quezon City, while the 1052nd Marikina Technical and Administrative Services Unit is assigned to Marikina. These subordinate elements allow the group to provide locally distributed support while remaining under the operational control of the group headquarters. Documented activities show a broad public-service and civil-support role alongside its military support mission. Between 2014 and 2016, personnel participated in disaster search-and-rescue, relief and rehabilitation operations, medical and dental civic-action programs, environmental activities such as tree planting and community cleanups, school-support work through Brigada Eskwela, security augmentation for public events, and disaster-response competitions. Operations were conducted in Quezon City, Marikina, Manila, and other locations in the wider region, including Bulacan. The group is therefore best understood not as a commercial consumer brand but as an institutional identity used by a Philippine military reserve formation. Its defining attributes are professional technical services, administrative support, reserve-force readiness, local-area assistance, and participation in disaster-response and community-service activities.

The 105th Technical & Administrative Services Group (Reserve) is a unit of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Reserve Command. It belongs to the 1st Technical and Administrative Services Brigade (Reserve), which contains five technical and administrative services groups. The group is based in Quezon City and carries the informal or official designation Haribon Group. Its principal military function is combat service support. The unit supports the 1502nd Infantry Brigade (Ready Reserve) and the 1503rd Infantry Brigade (Ready Reserve), both associated with the Army Reserve Command. The group's area of responsibility encompasses Quezon City and Marikina City, placing its activities within a densely populated metropolitan environment where military reserve support, emergency assistance, and community engagement can overlap. The group is organized around specialist personnel rather than a single occupational branch. Officers may be directly commissioned under AFP Circular Nos. 4 and 6 and may come from legal, medical, educational, engineering, religious, administrative, and communications professions. Listed categories include lawyers and paralegal specialists, doctors, nurses, dentists, veterinarians, licensed teachers, allied medical and business specialists, mass-communication professionals, engineers, and ordained chaplains. This professional composition enables the group to provide a range of technical, administrative, medical, legal, engineering, educational, and chaplaincy support to reserve formations and communities. Its organizational structure includes a headquarters and headquarters service-support company, four line companies identified as the A, B, C, and D Technical and Administrative Services Companies, and two forward operating base units. The 1051st Technical and Administrative Services Unit is associated with Quezon City and the 1052nd Technical and Administrative Services Unit with Marikina. These units are placed under the group's operational control and provide a framework for area-based support. The documented operational record from 2014 through 2016 illustrates how the group translated its support mandate into field activity. In July 2014, it participated in disaster search-and-rescue, relief, and rehabilitation operations connected with Task Force Glenda. Further activities included Armed Forces headquarters tree-planting operations, medical and dental civic action in Quezon City, additional disaster-response work connected with Task Force Mario, security augmentation for public events, and community cleanup activity in Marikina. In 2015, the group conducted medical and dental civic-action programs in several communities and schools, supported Brigada Eskwela in Quezon City, and took part in a rescue challenge associated with the AFP Joint Task Force–National Capital Region. In late 2016, it participated in the AFP-JCI Disaster Responders Challenge and conducted another medical and dental civic-action program in Bulacan. These activities demonstrate that the group's identity extends beyond internal administration. It functions as a reserve military support organization capable of mobilizing specialized personnel for emergency response, public safety support, environmental work, school engagement, and community healthcare. The available reference material does not provide a founding date, named commanders, financial information, commercial ownership, or a separate public-facing corporate website. Accordingly, the group should be catalogued as an institutional military unit rather than as a conventional commercial brand.
