The Philippine Army Lady Troopers represents the Philippine Army in women's volleyball competitions. The team previously competed in the Shakey's V-League/Premier Volleyball League as well as the Philippine Super Liga.
History The Lady Troopers were the first champion in the Philippine Superliga (PSL), winning all two conferences of the inaugural season. 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 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, the team partnered with the Smart Prepaid Giga Hitters and played as the Smart-Army Giga Hitters in the Invitational Cup of the 2018 Philippine Super Liga season. After its move to the Premier Volleyball League in the 2019 season, the team partnered with PacificTown Property Ventures Inc. and played as PacificTown–Army Lady Troopers. Following the cancellation of its 2020 season, the team returned for the 2021 season as the Black Mamba Army Lady Troopers backed by the sponsorship from Corbridge Group and its Black Mamba Energy Drink beverage.
