The Light Reaction Regiment is the premier counter-terrorist unit of the Philippine Army. It was formerly known as the Light Reaction Battalion and Light Reaction Company. Due to its specialization in counter-terrorism operations and its formation with the assistance of American advisers, the Light Reaction Regiment has been sometimes referred to as the Philippines' Delta Force.[3]
The LRR is part of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Special Operations Command (AFPSOCOM).[4] It is based at Fort Ramon Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija.
Their motto is from the famous Luna Sharpshooters of Antonio Luna during the Philippine-American War, with the monicker of "Marksmen of Death" (Spanish: Tiradores de la Muerte).
