Establishment of Citizen Armed Force

The Secretary of National Defense is responsible for organizing CAF into geographical units (CAF GUs) nationwide.
Implementation of an AFP reserve force development program is mandated.

CAF GUs consist of officers and men from the active force cadre and qualified reservists living locally.
Active force cadre may be assigned to other units while their assigned CAF GU remains inactive.

Mobilization of the CAF is allowed when military necessity arises.
Requires recommendation from the Secretary of National Defense and approval by the President.
CAF may augment regular AFP forces or support formations and units.
Active Auxiliary Units can be activated from volunteers after proper screening in consultation with local officials and civilian leaders.
These Auxiliary Units represent a partial activation level, short of full active duty.
Members of Active Auxiliary Units do not have law enforcement or police powers.

All CAF members undergoing training or active service are subject to military law and the Articles of War.

Necessary funding is sourced from the Department of National Defense's existing appropriations.

The Secretary of National Defense must promulgate rules and regulations to enforce this Executive Order.
These rules are subject to the President's approval.

All prior laws, orders, or regulations conflicting with this Executive Order are repealed or modified accordingly.

The Executive Order takes effect 90 days after its publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation in the Philippines.
