giles14:My point exactly......you need a ratio of exprienced in the field to non experienced in the field to give the new lads on the job training......else, they are as good as new civilians when baptism of fire begins..... but with the right ratio, there would be a balance to stop the defence or attack crumbling.......lets not forfet BHT is learning on the job, same way any military learns on the job and adapts. |

Odunayaw: When the bullets starts flying.....you will understand what fright can do.......thats why you need a ratio of battle tested; to make the lads function, else almost 800 men, with equipment ran away from what number of BHT? Even if it comes to savage hand to hand...they shouldnt loose. |

This july and august is going to be terrible...because BHT has been hibernating somewhere and just got new stock army equipment.......when we were going weeks without confrontation, i was saying it, something is wrong....the front is too quiet to be a front.....later we started confronting and making seizures...it was 1 ak 47 and den guns.....later more aks and fewer den guns, later more assorted rifles and grenades , later more assorted rifles, grenades and anti aircraft guns.......that is when i started sensing major battles like this are going to be cropping up. 1 Like |

Stephandeswardt: Watch the video again. The Colombian unit that got wiped was a small detachment sent to extract the journalist, they moved to the top of a hill which had less vegetation so a helo could come in... the rest of the Columbian soldiers were fighting in the valley. The commander had to send them up to this exposed and dangerous position to get the journo out. This is very common in Jungle fighting, read Mattahorn by Carl Marlantes, he was an Rhodes Scholar and USMC 1st Lt in Vietnam, he talks alot about commanders having to make these kinds of decisions in non-linear Jungle warfare. He talks in length about having to issue orders that he knew full well would likely get men killed, but were necessary in order to win the fight or achieve an important objective* Little to do with experience, it was simply a high risk task and on that occasion they got caught. *the sad part is that its usually the best soldiers who get ordered to do these suicidal tasks, because officers know they will get the job done. 5 Likes |

Stephandeswardt: Quality training, good equipment and (most important) the correct doctrine will all most always beat experience. Experience is what the lazy man relies on because building up good training regimes, buying the right equipment and developing and teaching the right doctrine is far harder to do than just throwing guys at the front lines. It takes one battle to make a "veteran" it takes decades to build a quality army. 6 Likes |

nemesis8u: I haven't seen a vid or a link so Idk if this was an intel failure where they were overwhelmed by hidden BH thousands or a command failure like El Adde where a massive VBIED was allowed into an unprotected perimeter along with many other blunders. I strongly suggest we ALL hold off the blame game til all facts are in. |

kikuyu1: Who is blaming who ? Only reference I made was to the commander . And surely I did not blame him only expressed surprise. Rest was in reference to CT ops based on what I know . Specifically chain of command. |

PRESS RELEASE UPDATE ON THE ATTACK ON SOLDIERS BY BOKO HARAM IN BAMA 1.The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to news making the round alleging attack on soldiers and capturing of military vehicles by Boko Haram in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State. 2. The Nigerian Army wishes to state categorically that the report is not only untrue but misleading as the said report is blown out of proportion by the media. 3. Contrary to the report, the Nigerian Army wishes to put the record straight on the issue and assure members of the public particularly residents of the North East to disregard the report as their safety is guaranteed. 4.The Nigeria Army wishes to state that there was an attempted attack on troops at Kwakwa and Chingori communities in Bama area of Borno State by suspected Boko Haram Terrorists as a result of difficult terrain where our vehicles bugged down. The terrorists also attempted to cart away troops operational vehicles, but were successfully repelled by our gallant troops with the support of the Nigerian Air Force. 5. About 22 members of Boko Haram terrorists were neutralised while several others escaped with gunshot wounds. Efforts are being intensified by the troops to get the fleeing members of the Boko Haram terrorists. 6. Unfortunately, one officer and a soldier sustained injuries and are currently receiving medical attention at the military medical facility. 7. While the Nigerian Army would not join issues with the media, certain facts must be reported with caution particularly now that numerous successes have been recorded by the troops in the fight against insurgency. 8. Members of the public are hereby advised to disregard the report and go about their legitimate businesses as the Nigerian Army is on top of the situation. 9. It is my well-thought-out opinion that in future, media practitioners should endeavour to verify facts from the appropriate military authority before rushing to the press. 10. Thank you.

This is the official position of the Nigerian army. Until there is contrary evidence to support the currently trending story, every other thing is just un-verified hearsay. 1 Like |

Xbee007: PRESS RELEASE RE: BOKO HARAM OVERRUN MILITARY BASE IN YOBE, SOLDIERS MISSING 1. The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a publication on the front page of Daily Trust Newspaper of Monday, 16 July 2018 titled “BOKO HARAM OVERRUN MILITARY BASE IN YOBE, SOLDIERS MISSING”. In the said story, the report stated inter alia, that “over six hundred soldiers are still missing after suspected Boko Haram militants overran a military base in Yobe state”. 2. The Nigerian Army wishes to state categorically that the report is not only untrue but capable of misleading members of the general public. 3. The write-up further alleged that about 100 of the troops that disappeared from the base in Jilli after the clash have reported in Geidam town but very few of them had their weapons with them. 4. Contrary to the report, the Army wishes to state that, although the base was attacked by suspected Boko Haram insurgents, troops reorganised and successfully repelled the attack and normalcy has since returned to the area. Also, all the troops in the base were accounted for contrary to the report. 5. Consequently, the Nigerian Army wishes to state that the fight against Boko Haram Terrorists in the North Eastern parts of the country is yielding positive result that lead to the return of some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) back to their ancestral homes. 6. The Nigerian Army therefore advised members of the public particularly residents of the affected areas to go about their legitimate businesses and disregard the said report as the Nigerian Army will continue to protect lives and property of citizens at all times. 7. The Nigerian Army also call on the media to always restrain caution, verify facts as well as balance their reports before rushing to the press to avoid misinforming the public on sensitive issues. 8. Thank you. TEXAS CHUKWU Brigadier General Director Army Public Relations |

I know its not possible for 670 soldiers to be missing. We really need to do something about this crazy Media houses that circulate fake news. The soldiers probably reorganized and launch their own attack to push out the terrorist from the base. 2 Likes |

Military Base Attacked By Boko Haram In Yobe Here are pictures of the military base which was recently attacked by Boko Haram insurgents in Yobe state. Some soldiers were reported missing after Boko Haram insurgents overran a military base in the remote part of the North-East, in the second major assault on the armed forces in two days. The attack took place just 24 hours after Boko Haram fighters ambushed a military convoy in neighbouring Borno State on Friday.
