The Philippine Army Lady Troopers is the official women's volleyball team of the Philippine Army. The team is composed of enlisted personnel and reinforced with civilian players from time to time.
The Lady Troopers were the first Philippine Superliga (PSL) champions, winning all two conferences of the inaugural season.[1] The Lady Troopers have also won two Shakey's V-League championships.
The team played in the PSL in partnership with various corporate sponsors. During the 2013 season, it was sponsored by TMS Ship Agencies, Inc. and played as TMS-Philippine Army Lady Troopers and in the 2014 All-Filipino, it partnered with Generika Drugstore[2] and played as the Generika-Army Lady Troopers. After a three conference absence, the team returned to the PSL for the 2016 season in partnership with another PSL team, the RC Cola Raiders and played under their banner as the RC Cola-Army Troopers. After another hiatus in 2017,[3] the team partnered with the Smart Prepaid Giga Hitters and played as the Smart-Army Giga Hitters in the Invitational Cup of the 2018 PSL season.[4]
