The Southern Luzon Command, known officially as the SolCom, is one of the Armed Forces of the Philippines' Wide Support Commands Combating Terrorism and Insurgency in Southern Luzon.

Their mission is to conduct sustained Internal Security Operations (ISO) in Southern Luzon to neutralize the Communist-Terrorist Movement (CTM) and reduce their operational capabilities. One of their missions is to support local Law Enforcement as well as the Philippine National Police in containing the NPA while supporting the peace process; and destroy the JI network operating in their AOR. This is needed to establish a secured backdoor to mainland Luzon and maintain a physically & psychologically sound environment conducive to growth and development in this southernmost part of the island.

The following are the units that are under the Southern Luzon Command.
