The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is composed of the three major services, namely the Philippine
Navy (PN), Philippine Army (PA) and the Philippine Air Force (PAF). The organization is loosely based on the
structure of the United States military, which it was patterned after during the Commonwealth era.
Domestically, the PNP is linked with the other law enforcement agencies through the National Law
Enforcement Coordinating Committee (NALECC). This body convenes regularly to foster cooperation
and coordination among all law enforcement agencies in the country such as the Armed Forces of the
Philippines.
The PNP and AFP complement each other on their pursuit to suppress insurgency, and other serious
threats to national security and in times of national emergency prescribed pursuant to Section 12 of
Republic Act 8551.
