History

The 1502IBde(RR) traces it roots from the now defunct 1st (QUEZMAR) Ready Reserve Battalion, which was the very first "Ready Reserve" Battalion organized when the 1302nd Community Defense Center was activated. As the unit began to build up troops through ROTC and BCMT, it grew into a brigade-sized unit, which necessitated the activation of a new unit to handle the number of reservists being activated.

The unit, as part of the 15ID(RR), ARESCOM, was later re-designated as a Ready Reserve One (RR1) unit by the NCRRCDG, ARESCOM in 2010 due to the demand for a ready quick reaction force that could augment and provide manpower to then NCRCOM of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

The unit is still part of Joint Task Force-NCR and currently serves as a frontline unit, especially during times of calamity, and national emergencies.
