Brief History of MSU Rearguards, Inc.
It was summer of 1973 when
the Rearguards Founding Tri-
umvirate (RFT) consisting of
Cadets First Class Paisal
Umpa, Benedict Posadas,
Hajan Usman and other
MSU-ROTC Cadet Officers
founded the MSU Rearguards
at the campus of the Min-
danao State University in
Marawi City. Umpa resided at
the first floor of the South
Wing while Posadas and Us-
man were roommates at
Room 63 North Wing in Ra-
jah Indarapatra Hall.

The MSU DAST Office was
conducting a Civic Project
(CIVAC) involving the reloca-
tion of Barrio Mahirap among
others, in April and May
1973. The Rearguards Trium-
virate handled the daily de-
ployment of CIVAC partici-
pants mostly inside the cam-
pus. The World Food Or-
ganization distributed some
products to the participants
that year --- dehydrated po-
tato, powdered eggs, raisins,
corned beef, margarine and
many more. It was during this
period when discussions started
and finalized the formation of the
MSU Rearguards.
The first batch of Dumbguards
was recruited at the beginning of
school year 1973-74. This recol-
lection would mean that our
Foundation Month was June
1973.
