The Kenya Defence Forces’ Rapid Response Unit (RRU), in collaboration with the USAF Special Operations Squadron, carried out special training exercises in Archers Post, Samburu County. This training is a crucial component of the multinational exercise EX-JUSTIFIED ACCORD 2024, which aims to strengthen the already warm and cooperative ties between Kenya, the USA, and the East African nations. The RRU and USAF personnel practiced coordinating air support for ground forces during combat operations to provide direct assistance to troops on the battlefield, such as attacking enemy positions or assisting with reconnaissance. The joint forces further honed their skills in locating, rescuing, and recovering personnel in distress, an exercise critical for retrieving downed pilots, injured soldiers, or civilians caught in conflict zones. The teams meticulously planned and executed various scenarios, ensuring seamless coordination for effective mission execution. Captain Hillary Litali while speaking during the exercise recognized the significance of EX – Justified Accord which not only represents military maneuvers but rather provides a valuable opportunity for cross-cultural learning and collaboration. Through this multinational endeavor, Litali sees the opportunity to learn from the best to hone their efficient procedures and effective communication methods, practices that enhance overall readiness for the personnel. He further commended the exercise as a bridge to connecting military minds, cultures, and expertise and being a testament to the power of collaboration in tackling transnational security issues. EX-JUSTIFIED ACCORD 2024 underscores the importance of joint training and cooperation in addressing complex security challenges in East Africa. 4 Likes

Odunayaw:I read somewhere that it has changed: non-Saffers can still do Selection, but are no longer admitted to the courses on the advanced cycle. EDIT: it would appear some courses on the cycle are still open to SADC SF. |

Shaytun: I think BH/bandits in the Northeast Nigeria already have MANPADs... I sighted one once. Although, not yet regular. And as you have rightly said, once the war in Sudan is wrapped up most of those advance weapons used there will find it's way to the marauders in West Africa, for sure. We don't do prevention here, we only do cure. 3 Likes |

Odunayaw: Talk about brutal. Course 37 of the SA Police Special Task Force: - 525 serving SA Police personnel applied; - 150 made it to pre-Selection; - 110 started Selection; - 13 earned Operator status this week, after Selection and the 15-month STF training cycle! 4 Likes

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Odunayaw(m): 9:29pm On Mar 08 |
Lurker4Long:Damn! That means 11% of those who were certified physically able couldn't meet up with learning what it takes to be a STF operator! But why's the attrition rate so high? I believe there's a certain level of proficiency one gets to that any increment becomes less decisive. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Lurker4Long: 9:44pm On Mar 08 |
Odunayaw:At some point it's no longer physical, but mental. Think about that 15-month training cycle: the mental strain of knowing every single week is a test & evaluation and one could be binned! Imagine failing the very last week, after enduring Selection and 15 months of brutal slog. I imagine there are instructors who look at that 11% and think, "we weren't tough enough on them, we'll rectify that next year!" There've been years when nobody made it. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Odunayaw(m): 12:40am On Mar 09 |
Lurker4Long:True. Often those who made it through selection would contain the young bloods 22-24. But after selection maturity becomes the sought after trait. However, this kind of job with it's high mortality rate. I'm of the opinion that after a certain level of proficiency in Operator Training, there's not much more proficiency can add to survival and mission success. An odd example is me preferring 5 guys at 80% proficiency of skills level than 2 guys who are max out 100%. 2 Likes |

Odunayaw:Any special operations group with that sort of age as the average, is very close to crap. I don't care what they're putting on. You can take that to the bank. No matter the country. There's a reason most seals are over 30 years. At that level, what counts is Experience, Experience and Teamwork. Not proficiency. Everyone is quite proficient enough. Proficiency is knowing how to do something right. But Experience is knowing the right time to actually do it, and knowing when right things lead to wrong results. Special missions are usually high stake and sensitive. There is no room for wrong decisions. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Odunayaw(m): 9:02pm On Mar 09 |
Faithful007:Most seals cannot be over 30. At least not those fresh out of BUD/S. And how is experience going to be a thing for people who are still undergoing their training cycle? Because I limited my opinion to just the training cycle. 1 Like |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Faithful007: 9:41pm On Mar 09 |
Odunayaw: You're aware that you have to be a sailor already before BUD/S right? Now count in the fact you practically cannot pass it without substantive military experience. Secondly passing BUD/S only qualifies you for SEAL training. You don't become a SEAL by passing BUD/S. You have to pass SEAL Training to actually get the Trident and become a SEAL and assigned to a team. Even after that, you will be on probation and will not deploy till you pass all the advanced courses which takes almost two years before you finally get your SEAL certificate. It is your level of experience and knowledge that will count you in. I don't see how someone at this stage will be 22-23. At least 26 years. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Odunayaw(m): 10:06pm On Mar 09 |
Faithful007: 1. Age requirement to apply is 18-29yo. I gave the age 22-24 as likely the biggest age group after SELECTION [in this case BUD/S]. So are you saying no one in this range would have finished boot camp and time in the fleet to be able to have gone through 6months BUD/S[selection]? 2. SQT is the equivalent of the operator training cycle I was talking of in my first post. In which proficiency is the criteria and NOT experience. Experience in what exactly? Tier 1 units are the only one who have experience as a criteria. 1 Like |
