CAS HOLDS THIRD QUARTER INTERACTIVE MEETING WITH AWOs, RSMs, CHARGES THEM ON DISCIPLINE, INNOVATIVENESS As part of efforts to further enhance professionalism and efficient service delivery through sustained discipline and regimentation, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), today, 23 October 2019, held its Third Quarter Interactive Meeting of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) with Air Warrant Officers (AWOs) and Regimental Sergeant Majors (RSMs) of all NAF Units and tri-Service Formations and Institutions. The quarterly retreat, which held at the Headquarters NAF Abuja, provides a forum for interactions aimed at consolidating on the existing smooth working relations between the NAF leadership and all ranks within the Service for enhanced operational effectiveness and efficiency. In his remarks during the meeting, the CAS, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, reminded the AWOs and RSMs, who are the link between the Officers’ Cadre and the Other Ranks, to remain loyal and impartial in the discharge of their responsibilities. He enjoined them to always give necessary feedback to their Commanders with a view to enhancing policy implementation as well as consolidating on the advancement of the Service. He also laid emphasis on the expected roles of the AWOs and RSMs in promoting regimentation and discipline, urging them to continue to give their best to ensure that the NAF remains the pride of all Nigerians. The CAS also encouraged the AWOs and RSMs to be innovative in the area of Research and Development (R&D), noting that the NAF had intensified efforts to produce locally-made spares and other related equipment in a bid to address the challenges associated with spares procurement from other countries. While speaking on personnel welfare, Air Marshal Abubakar added that the NAF would not relent in ensuring that its personnel were properly accommodated and provided with the requisite equipment to do their jobs effectively. He reiterated that the Interactive Session was part of the NAF Leadership’s deliberate bottom-up approach towards facilitating continuous feedback from personnel of the Service, to ensure that the Leadership consistently takes the best decisions. During the interactive session, the AWOs and RSMs took turns to brief the CAS on activities in their various Areas of Responsibility. The briefs mostly focused on suggestions to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency as well as matters pertaining to general welfare. The AWOs and RSMs also commended the CAS for creating the enabling environment for women to thrive in the Service as evidenced by the recent winging of the first female fighter pilot and helicopter pilot in the NAF, promotion of the first woman to the enviable rank of AWO as well as the reversion of the Air Force Girls’ Comprehensive School (AFGCS) in Jos back to Air Force Girls’ Military School (AFGMS). A lecture on “NAF Policy on Civil Military Relations” had earlier been delivered by the Director of Civil Military Relations, Air Commodore David Aluku.

Jimi24: Broz, a few 5 ground radars for 100 FOBs, air bases and barracks? How enough Broz? Radar is wrong, NA need thermal imagers like these green colors, to detect and I.D. approaching BHT vehicles and foot men 10 to 20 km away, radars don't identify friend or foe. It's only those who don't understand war that an army General can confuse because he was shouting. Me too I shout when I lecture in classroom ![]() You are asking 15 aircraft for NA when NAF uses over 100 aircraft and started shouting air power alone cannot win this war? Let Senate transfer to NA aviation all 6 armed Agusta NAF ordered newly and let army see practical of operating aircraft, they overestimate capability of air power. How many Super Camps in N.E. land bigger than Liberia? 15 aircraft can only defend limited areas near super camp, ISWAP will rampage freely beyond range of small helicopters, you forget limited range, endurance flight hours, horrible maintenance wahala in sandy dusty army base limiting helo operational availability? Its time for Nigerians in the know to tell NA what to do, we allowed them free decision for 10 years, they keep buying wrong type of vehicles and use DSHK to fight KPV, they do wrong things expecting right result. Its my view, we can freely agree to disagree. Am just tired of wrong decisions. 2 Likes

oyinpr: No air fleet flies at bec and call 24/7 its impossible, they are limited by service availability percentage due to down time for maintenance and shut downs. My man I get it too, but super camp is a trench of large size, frontline is frontline. NAF already has frontline air bases for years closest as possible to battlefields.

WARTHUNDER:let the army employ air assets oga, you seem to underestimate the power of army aviation o SMH. Me I still stand with the army getting helos, you seem to forget that most ISWAP attacks that overrun FOB's occur over the night for long periods of time without support from airforce air assets with army helos these situations will be far from what we have now and pls the airforce has limited air assets deployed in the N.E lol no dey exaggerate abeg ![]() 3 Likes |

oyinpr: I have agreed boss, I said give NA the NAFs 6 new armed Agusta to see practical. I dont underestimate air power, I lecture its strategic benefit in school, just saying if 100 cannot win for 10 years 115 birds cannot win. ISIS was defeated by land forces not army aviation, thats another practical lesson my bruz. Me, I no be senator, I cannot stop army getting helicopters, NA already ordered 3 AS 350 helicopters from France and paid first deposit. Its a done deal already, lets see what happens when NA aviation helos enter frontline service. 3 Likes |

We all read about it, and experts who witnessed the war tell the world that Kurdish men on ground were main key to victory over ISIS not helicopters. 1 Like |

Heard a chilling story few days ago from a priest. I guess he is a chaplain. According to him, they were heading somewhere in a borno village when they noticed the Bush ahead was wavering without wind. So they decided to lie low and send an empty hilux ahead of them. Immediately the vehicle got to the spot many bokoharam boys pounced on the car firing on it. With that they were able to kill every single one of them. Not one BH soul escaped. It was a total victory for the army.. Many stories will go unheard in this war.Godbless and preserve our soldiers. 8 Likes |

WARTHUNDER: The real helicopter gunships are not up to 70. Nigeria had about 12 to 34 A109s doing nothing but utility for many years. MI 24/35P/35M not all in active service. I agree we should be using a lot of L-39s in the daytime. F7NI is useless on the battle field only good for destroying bases 2 Likes |
