The Nigerian Army has challenged its Special Forces to prove that they have better training and tactics than terrorists by making the difference and positive impact in the ongoing counter-terrorism operations.


The Chief of Army of Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, gave the charge in Maiduguri on Sunday, while addressing the Armed Forces Special Forces and Army Strike Group deployed in the North-East.

“You are selected specially and deployed here in the North East.

You are given special training and that is why you are called Special Forces.

“I am here to tell you that you have a great job to do and you must do it properly.

“You are deployed in the North-East to make a difference because of your special training.

If there will be any challenge in terms of capacity, I believe you will fill that gap and you have all it takes to do that.

“If you apply the training that you are given, we all have cause to be proud to belong the armed forces of our great country,’’ Buratai said.

He warned them against exhibiting cowardice, saying “we do not have time for the chicken-hearted, the cowards.

“You all must brace up and be brave.

We have done the greatest job so far in the North-East; the greatest in terms of degrading the terrorists.


“We are better trained, better equipped.

We know tactics better than them and what is remaining for us is to dominate everywhere and dominate our areas of responsibilities.


“We must dominate the whole of the North-East.’’

He added that “the terrorists must no longer be allowed the freedom to move about and commit heinous crime and escape.

“They must be dealt with squarely.

We must say no to their vain and invalid threats.

“Henceforth, there should be no dull moment in our operations.

There should be no gap, but make a difference.’’

A soldier on duty is not supposed to part ways with his rifle. This is a war theatre, yet you see these soldiers holding a yena instead of their rifles. These guys are not well trained.

QuietMynd:

Wats the importance of the comment section you screenmunch with the writeup ?

LTGEN:

Sorry i was replying to prolog
At a certain point you are aware the soldiers are at least a mile to two miles behind the front lines ?
you are also aware that at this point they are using drones for aerial surveillance ?
you are also aware they have a tank with one in the chamber and are on red alert but they have look outs right ?
Let us not continually make derogatory comments about our soldiers because of recent setbacks.
Right now the NA have been fighting since Sunday/ Monday (December 3,4,and 5 Our boys have been fighting off/ on for 36+ hours straight off/ on @ Malamfotori.
Try working on your job for 36 hours off/on.
let us be considerate
we have our difference , we see when they fail because of social media, we only see the tip when they succeed,
there are at least two possible locations where heavy fighting is likely in the next few days.
May God be with these young men and women.

How fickle and ungrateful we are, Buratai that has done more for the Army than the last four Chiefs put together, I agree it is time for him to go not because he is unqualified as you said but because we need fresh blood, and new ideas.

Besides if he is unqualified, what will you attribute his earlier success to? Luck?

Stop making excuses, they were very badly trained and they showed it in that photo, in training in the french foreign legion, just try to separate yourself from your famas for 2 seconds ... You would get the punishment of a lifetime. It is supposed to be a natural reflex for a soldier. Your best friend is your rifle, your rifle is your baby, don't ever part ways with it so long you are on duty. And every soldier in a warfront is on duty. Boko Haram is not going to wait for them to take a cup of tea, take pictures with yenas and crocodiles and then ask them if they are finally ready and well rested to start slugging it out. Look at the special forces guys, they wouldn't leave their guns, not even for a meeting with the coas.

yet you decided to waste everybody's time with your empty and pointless comment.

Bros getting a star in front of your vehicle is not an easy task. Even if you are battle tested

Odunayaw:


The point was lying bare at you. You aren't worth the trouble of showing sense

this thread once had people

prolog2:
keep quiet when you have nothing to say.
