General Conclusion on Effects:
The physical, political, social, economic, and informational terrain makes the
OA unfit for breeding terrorists and insurgents. However, due to its proximity
to areas where threat groups thrive, it can be vulnerable for terroristic
activities.
• Physical Terrain Analysis/ Ground Domain
• Shorelines ideal for amphibious operations
• Rolling terrains ideal for mechanized and infantry operations
• Physical Terrain Analysis/ Air Domain

• Favorable for air operations for FF except during weather disturbances
• Limited night flying capability
• Physical Terrain Analysis/ Maritime Domain

• FF will have unhampered (weather permitting) naval operations unless
seaports are subjected to EF sabotage.
• Seaports advantage for FF in terms of logistics support system
• Weather/Climate/METOC
• On dry season, favorable for the FF, and limits movement of EF
• Tropical weather condition both favorable to FF and EF
• Shorelines offer various entry and exit points for the EF’s troops, supplies, and
logistics
General Conclusion on Effects:
• Political Analysis
• The political situation is favorable to the FF since majority of the political leaders
in the OA are very supportive to the AFP.
• Social Terrain Analysis

• The FF has advantage on gaining the sympathy of the majority of the populace
in OA against enemy activities.
• Socio-economic Analysis
• The Socio-economic condition in Zamboanga City helps alleviate the living
condition of the general populace which limits EF recruitment efforts. However,
possible targets for terroristic activities (Bombing, sabotage and kidnapping) are
also increasing.
• Information Terrain Analysis

• FF will use IO to their advantage while EF is in public pressure

ASG Situation:
• Social
• Majority of inhabitants in ASG

affected areas are Muslims
• ASG affected areas are

populated mostly by Yakan and

composed of a mixture of
various tribes that have
migrated to the city.

• Has members who have active social
media accounts
• Uses the quad-media for propaganda

 Extortion
• Capable of monitoring troop movements utilizing relatives and active
supporters/sympathizers (peripheral members) who relay information
through text messages;
• Efficient in both sea and land mobility by utilizing motorized watercrafts
and motorcycles; and,
• Able to establish linkages/ties with local politicians (established through
kinship or marriages), resulting to more fluidity in their movements in the
area
ASG Strategy & Tactics:

During conduct of Bombing or IED attacks:
• Conduct recon/surveillance within the general area and along route towards their
specific targeted location for IED emplacement.
• Couriers utilize motorcycles or hire 4-wheeled vehicles during transport of the IED
towards their safe house which is strategically located within an area adjacent to
their target.
• IED emplacement takes effect mostly during wee hours.
• Utilization of IEDs became an alternative tactic to thwart/delay government
operations.

During conduct of kidnapping:
• Utilizes contacts/spotters in
other places/other provinces
or region to provide them
probable targets for
abduction.
• Employs a middle man

suddenly takes step on the
negotiation for the release of
the KV with corresponding
ransom demand.
• Hiding the identity of the

kidnap victim thru wearing of
“HIJAB” and “MASTURA”.

During Conduct of Extortion:
• Contacts use as spotters of prospected targets for
extortion.
• ASG utilize contacts that serve as couriers of the
extortion letter to be handed over to the targeted
individual.
• Send extortion demands through text messages
and extortion letters
• Establish contacts and linkages to obtain the
target’s landline/mobile number for easy access of
communication.
• Create threat scenarios such as bomb
scare/liquidation to sow fear among their targeted
individuals to ensure the payment of extortion
demands.
• Use of online electronic money transfer account
during payday to avoid compromise and being
caught by the government authorities.
