The National Capital Regional Command, known officially as the NCRCom or NCRC, is one of the Armed Forces of the Philippines' geographical commands combating terrorism and insurgency while acting as support units to the Philippine National Police-National Capital Region in maintaining peace and order within Metro Manila. They also support the AFP Southern Luzon Command in anti-dissidence operations in Cavite and Laguna.

History

The command was reactivated on February 28, 2025 after the announcement of the memorandum signed by Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr. for the deactivation of the AFP Joint Task Force – National Capital Region and the reactivation of the NCR Command.
