The mission of Force Recon is to conduct amphibious reconnaissance, deep ground reconnaissance, surveillance, battle-space shaping and limited scale raids in support of the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), other Marine air-ground task forces or a joint force.

Nigerian army procurement also not bad.

Exnavyboy62:


So the Nigerian Army is interested in Bell UH 1D helos. Mhhmmm

Not a bad choice though but do you have any info or update on the NA pilots that were sent to India on pilot training of the HAL Chetak? I think the cost effective and easy maintenance and non strict policy HAL Dhruv will be a better pick over the Bell helos

Do you also have any info on the development of the locally made NASENI helicopter for the military?

kikuyu1:


Are the Panthers pilot rescue? Are they truly SOF? What will be the role of the NN SOF given you already have SBS? Will it be a combined ground unit- how will it function given there's no amphibious Marine type force?
Are Phantoms army? If not are they under DHQ? Who has operational control of the unit?
Who are your spec ops capable units if any? The US has Marine Force Recon in this category. Unlike strategic roles of SEALs they perform tactical functions for their larger parent USMC brigades.

No update on the NA pilots training in India. I also don't think the training in India is specifically on the Chetak aircraft, it's a general pilot training they are undergoing in India.

The NA is standing up an aviation unit after so many years of trying, starting off with the Bell UH1D is not bad, it could have been better, but improving pilot proficiency and competence on an aircraft that is readily employable is a decent place to start.

NASENI doesn't seem like a serious government agency, I don't take any reports from them seriously.

The last time a Ugandan leader challenged one of her neighbours to the east, it didn't end well. Young Muhoozi should ask his father, as M7 was a direct beneficiary.

Just b4 that, he had threatened to invading Kenya but changed his mind, Don't know about other factors that led to rescinding the decision but one major one that isn't even about military strength - was relevant then and is still very much relevant today...

More than 70% of her imports and 95% of her refined oil imports pass through Kenya.

Nigerian Air Force SOF

The 1st Canine Regiment's mission is to provide dogs as a force multiplier at times of war and peace to the Kenya Army. The unit was established in 2012 and is based at Embakasi Garrison. Kenya is the only country in East Africa with a fully formed and independent canine unit within its military.[1] The unit is trained in explosive detection, patrolling, search and rescue and road and building clearing. The regiment relies on a variety of dogs from the Belgian Malinois and Labrador Retriever to the German Shepherd depending on the range and type of mission assigned.[2]

“These guys are a national treasure,” he said. “In my day, it cost an average of $1 million to train a special forces soldier. Now it probably costs closer to $1.5 million, and you don’t waste that asset. You use them judiciously when you really need them.”

That being said I imagine that an active duty seal team member would train like I did (do) when practicing precision speed drills with a secondary: at least three times a week, I burn through 550 to 650 rnds of 9 mm auto in about an hour and a half. This time includes reloading the mags and going to range counter to buy more ammo and swapping targets....So eight to ten thousand plus rounds a month for half serious training on just the secondary for one man would not be uniusual. Now add in the primary weapon for the off days or for the afternoon. We are talking about 28 rnd mags at the same rate of fire on drill targets. So a mag will be changed about every 10 seconds.
This noise will degrade the quality of this thread which will turn stinky like the other one....

Read the whole thing twice-imagine the opportunity cost of 6 decades of this neocolonial financial f'ery!? Think of the roads,schools and hospitals unbuilt so Jean-Fraude could eat off their colonies. Even by African standards their infrastructure collectively is the worst as the Africa Infrastructure Index shows-WHY??

Yrs ago French NGOs were censored by the NA for assisting BH,rmbr?
