A military professionalism & effectiveness depends on three tiers; DOCTRINE, EQUIPMENT & TRAINING. In the ongoing CION war against BHT in the north east ,there are two arms of the armed forces that are basically involved in the fight against the islamic sect BH.

What do you think that these two arms of the military should be doing that they are not doing well or not doing at all in regards to doctrine, equipment & training. And how can the government and security council come in terms of security funds/budget and other support.

your contribution please...

Please note my submissions are my honest opinion and that nothing typed by this moniker is out of superior knowledge

Doctrine wise: Pass mark for both services

Training: We have not rested on our oars looking at us receiving mentoring from the UK military and forging partnership with various Friendly countries

Equipment: For the Army..this is where IMHO I think there is more to be desired

Training has gotten a lot better
BIMATT TRAINING has been a great help, theresults show for themselves and it should continue
things to improve on :
Response time from the NAF should decrease to less than 10 minutes.
the NIGERIAN AFSF and the SBS need to hunt down the leadership of bh and concentrated effort must be sustained.
Next step to pacify the Mandara mountains

DOCTRINE - PASS MARK

TRAINING - PASS MARK

EQUIPMENTS - A LOT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

ARMY - THE ARMY NEEDS MORE MORTAR,ARTILLERY PIECES, PERIMETER DEFENSE WEAPONS LIKE CLAYMORE ETC , AT LEAST INTRA SQUAD RADIOS,NIGHT VISION GOGGLES, M. R. E (MEALS READY TO EAT) , AT LEAST A SQUAD AUTOMATIC WEAPON LIKE THE GPMG OR RPK TO AT LEAST A GUNNER TO EVERY FIVE SOLDIERS AND A DEDICATED AIR WING WITH NIGHT FLYING CAPABILITIES.

ALL THESE CAN BE UTILISED AND WE WILL STOP LOOSING SMALL UNITS THAT DON'T HAVE MRAPS OR ARMOURED VEHICLES TO ASSIST THEM. PERIMETER DEFENCE WEAPONS LIKE CLAYMORE OR MINES CAN BE DEPLOYED ROUND THEIR PERIMETER  TO SLOW DOWN ENEMY FORCES. THE AMERICAN FORCES EVEN USE WHAT THEY CALL "FOO GASS", A DEADLY MIXTURE OF "PETROL AND DIESEL" POURED IN DRUMS AND BURIED INCHES BELOW THE GROUND ROUND THEIR PERIMETER. WITH THE PERIMETER SECURED WITH PERSONAL DEFENSE WEAPONS, EACH SOLDIER WITH AN INTRA SQUAD RADIO CAN RELAY MESSAGES TO THE C.O WITHOUT HAVING TO LEAVE HIS POSITION WHILE THE C.O USES HIS MAIN RADIO TO CONTACT THE AIRFORCE,DIVISION/BATTALION COMMANDER FOR ARTILLERY SUPPORT OR REENFORCEMENT.

MORE MORTAR OR ARTILLERY PIECES WILL ENABLE EVEN SMALLER UNITS DEFEND THEMSELVES BY LAUNCHING EXPLOSIVES INTO A PRE-CORDINATED FIRE PATTERNS TO COVER THEM IN A WALL OF STEEL. EVEN TWO ARTILLERY PIECES CAN PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR JUST FOUR MEN TILL REENFORCEMENT ARRIVE TO SUPPORT THEM. MORTARS TOO WILL GO A LONG WAY IN SUPPORTING UNITS TOO.

SPECIAL FORCES CAN EVEN DEPLOY BEHIND ENEMY LINES WITH PREDETERMINED ARTY SUPPORT BARRAGE AND PERIMETER DEFENSE WEAPONS. EVEN IF A WAY IS FOUND TO PRESERVE MEALS,LIKE JOBITEX DID YEARS BACK, THEY'LL JUST NEED TO DEPLOY IN BEHIND ENEMY LINES OR ZONES, GATHER INFORMATION FOR DAYS AND A COPTER WILL PICK THEM AFTER DAYS OF OBSERVATION.

IF THEY'RE DISCOVERED,ARTY UNITS CAN COVER THEIR WITHDRAWAL TO A SAFER PICKUP SPOT. IT WILL GO A LONG WAY IN HELPING THEM CAPTURE TOP BHT.

THE SQUAD AUTO WEAPONS GIVES INCREASED FIREPOWER TO THE MEN EVEN WHEN THERE'S NO ARMOUR AND A NIGHT VISION GOOGLE TO EACH MAN ON THE FIELD ALSO INCREASES THEIR CAPABILITIES TO FIGHT EVEN IN THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS. BARB WIRES CAN ALSO BE DEPLOYED FOR PERIMETER DEFENSE.

AIRFORCE - THE AIRFORCE NEEDS MORE PLATFORMS WITH NIGHT FLYING CAPABILITIES. THE JF17 AND TUCANO DEALS, WE'VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. THEY NEED MORE PLATFORMS AND FAST RESPONSE TIME TO HELP SOLDIERS UNDER ATTACK.

my bottom line opinion is that the army has to do more in the training aspect and the government should do more in terms of budget and state of the art equipment for the army.

bidexiii:


hope our politicians we see the need to allocate proper funds for defense.

for the tucanos and jf17, it may take time but its a done deal.

Odunayaw:
Surely its going to time
we need to take care of a lot of "footprints" in order not to relive the dull experience of the Jaguar days
