In the days that followed, each battalion would assign men to form a company to enter the rainforest and hunt down remaining enemies. Every time, they struck with overwhelming force, using heavy manpower and firepower to utterly suppress small groups of Japanese troops. Sometimes they deliberately avoided areas destroyed by Agent Orange, to gain experience in jungle warfare. Even if the fighting wasn't intense, the soldiers still gained valuable combat experience.
This approach was based on Pierre's adaptation of lessons from another world's self-defense counterattack war—rotational combat. Each squad would send at least two men, ensuring that every squad would have some jungle warfare experience in the future, rather than going into battle blindly. In this sense, Zamboanga had become a training ground for the garrison troops.
