Defence Headquarters Nigeria NIGERIA MILITARY TO ENJOY MORE SUPPORT FROM GERMANY Nigerian Armed Forces has continued to generate more support from the Western world and world leaders in the fight against insurgency. The latest support being, from the Federal Republic of Germany. A German Advisory Team in charge of military equipment and programme paid courtesy call on the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja. Speaking during the courtesy call, the Team Leader, Colonel Thomas Brillisauer said that the aim of the visit was to discuss new areas of support in the fight against insurgency in the country. According to him, Nigeria has been a reliable partner therefore there is the need to support her by prolonging and increasing the military relationship for the future of both countries. It would be noted that the German military are the sole trainers of the Armed Forces Electronic and Mechatronics Engineering (AFEME) Workshop and School. Describing the engagement of the two countries as very cordial, Colonel Brillisauer stated that the German government is ever ready and willing to improve on the existing relationship by wading into the current needs of the Nigerian Armed Forces in the ongoing war on terrorism which is different from other form of support on its bilateral relation. These include Medical Centre to cater for the treatment of war victims for the injured and traumatized, Military Mechanical Units, establishment of Peace Keeping Centre and Training in Counter Explosive Device (IED), Capacity Building and Training of Medical Personnel amongst others. This he said would increase the country’s footprint in Nigeria. The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) represented by Defence Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Umar Omeiza describe both countries as partners in progress. He noted that the long standing relationship between the countries has yielded positive impact in the upgrading and establishment of Armed Forces Electrical Mechatronics Engineering workshop and school (AFEME). He therefore commended the German government on the proposed programme to support the military and expressed optimism that Nigeria would get out of the present security challenges and continue to exert its influence among the comity of nations. It would be recalled that countries like the United States of America, Great Britain, Korea, Pakistan, India among others have thrown their weights behind Nigeria in support of counter insurgency operations.

Patchesagain: It's a Nigerian news channel. It's understandable that Nigeria would feature the most in the report, however there was significant show of fireworks from the Rooivalk in the report. |

Pray, what additional information on south africa would have made u happy ![]() The Rooivalk and all the APC's and terrain was not enough for u, innit?

Henry240: Frum One thing I noticed from the display (and other exercises) is that we keep our formations veeery close together... the Moto Inf assault and the Mech assault seemed veery tight esp in comparison to the Angolans who opened up the display I get it... Angolans were light Inf skirmishing... we deployed Moto Inf and kept them close maximise firepower over a small frontage But what is the ROE with regards to spacing... While I was watching it, i was thinking "one good MRLS strike and we lose half a battalion" |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 1:58pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
Patchesagain: Like any 21st century military, the media beast has to be fed. We're still not doing this optimally. For example, we could make an Oryx available exclusively for photographers. Then tele-zoom lenses could be used to capture the actual battle formation and spacing. |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 2:09pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
Tacticool! A tacticool looking Nigerian Army Special forces soldier clutching a micro- Beryl. I love the new uniforms, especially these ones that come with knee-guards. The Personal role radios are also nice. 3 Likes

Henry240:1) I wasn't involved with Amani II so I stand to be corrected; 2) The Exercise had generally 2 concepts of operations: Rapid deployment(RD) and the African Stand-by Force (ASF) deployment with various scenarios; 3) RD was comprised of the countries who have volunteered to be part of ACIRC who then spend their own resources - Nigeria is not part of this; 4) The ASF is the AU regional brigades who are supposed to follow an RD; depending on the region, these are either self-funded, AU-funded, EU-funded etc; On a strategic level, the Nigerians had command of the ECOWAS Brigade and the rotating AU military commander charged with overseeing all regional brigades for the AU is a retired Nigerian General. These are the guys who came here ahead of everyone else so they could be trained to use the Chaka C2 system used to run the Exercise. Also, Nigeria was one of the countries which volunteered to offer both strategic and tactical airlift. All the command elements responsible for this also had to undergo Chaka training. Not to strike a sour note, but this must be mentioned: SA, Nigeria, Algeria, Angola are the only countries that paid their own way. Which is quite shameful for our continent. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 3:40pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
frumentius: Of course I'm referring to those countries that had substantial participants. Countries like Egypt and Ethiopia, for example, can very well claim they paid their own way, but sending a dozen staff officers does not count, in my opinion. ![]() N.B. A mate tells me the strategic/tactical airlift countries also participated in the RD deployment: ACIRC SF, Paras and Air Assault utilised SA and Nigerian C-130s; Algerian and Angolan Il-76 participated in the tactical deployment of light and heavy combat elements of ACIRC. N.N.B. So many senior officers experiencing first-hand how an African-focused Command and Control system aids their efficiency on the battlefield can only mean more Chaka orders! |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:41pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
frumentius: "Tacticool" is a word i picked up from following the now defunct militaryphotos.net over the years. It's a word used to describe soldiers in full tactical gear, just to say the guy looks cool. It's in the same manner i describe men who look "Tacticool". - I can't say that Nigeria's comms set-up requires additional improvement, I'm not privy to the data as regards military wide comms, but i know it's very much improved. -The Personal Role Radios Nigeria special forces carry is a significant boost to general comms advancement in the military. - The integrated Knee pads are just beautiful! |
