@ Stanley thanks for the answer
And @ idu1 sorry, I didn't understand the question ; as Stanley as rightly said only Colonel and above wear red insigma at the color of there shirts. And that's why people call them red necks. Or senior military officers.

NEWS ON THE ARMY 2ND OCTOBER, 2015



80 BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS SURRENDER

In a landmark event on Independence Day, 80 Boko Haram terrorists surrendered en masse to troops of OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE in Bama, in Borno State.
Among them were commanders, suppliers and foot soldiers confirmed to have taken part in several terrorist attacks especially on Bama town.
Their surrender is not unconnected with the intense heat and continuous offensive action against them embarked upon by troops in recent time as part of the efforts to meet the three months’ presidential deadline for the eradication of terrorism in Nigeria.
The Army has repeatedly urged the general public to continue providing useful information to security agencies towards apprehension of all known terrorists.

The Battle of Tel-El-Kebir 1882

War: Egypt 1882

Date: 13th September 1882

Place: North Eastern Egypt

Combatants: An Anglo-Army against the Egyptian Army.

Generals: General Sir Garnet Wolseley against Ahmed Arabi Bey .

Size of the armies: The Egyptian army was probably around 20,000 strong with 60 guns. The British and Indian force comprised 11,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry and 45 guns.

Uniforms, arms and equipment: The British infantry was armed with the single shot breech loading Martini-Henry and bayonet. The War marked a distinct change in the British Army’s approach to campaign dress. The main body of the infantry started the war in scarlet tunics and blue woolen trousers, with white equipment and tropical helmets. The importance of being less visible was soon brought home to the regiments and tunics were dyed drab and the pipe clay washed off equipment. Several regiments fought in blue tunics, the RMLI, RA and the Royal Horse Guards. The KRRC fought in rifle green tunics and trousers. The Highland regiments fought in kilts, other than 1st Battalion, the Highland Infantry, which still wore the trews of the old 74th Regiment. The Indian Army regiments all wore drab or grey uniforms.

The Egyptian troops wore Turkish uniforms of white tunic and trousers, spats and fezes and were armed with single shot Remington rifles.

Winner: The British and Indian Army.

Account: Egypt in the late 19th Century, ruled by the Khedive, remained a nominal part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Britain and France maintained a substantial interest in the country due to the Suez Canal, in which both countries had invested heavily and which provided the most direct route to their Asian colonies; India and Australia for Britain and Indochina for France. In the 1870s Egypt, through mismanagement and corruption, lurched towards financial collapse and political instability. Britain and France installed a commission to supervise Egypt’s government. In 1881 Colonel Ahmed Arabi Bey, a native Egyptian officer of the Egyptian Army with other Egyptian officers launched a revolt against the Khedive and the British and French. A British naval squadron under Admiral Seymour bombarded the defences of Alexandria Egypt’s main port on the northern coast on 11th July 1882. A British military force assembled under Lieutenant-General Sir Garnet Wolseley to invade Egypt, with the purpose of capturing Cairo and restoring the Khedive as nominal ruler and Anglo-French control of the country.

The leading elements of the British force landed at Alexandria in the second week of August 1882. The aims of the force were to secure the Suez Canal that ran North-South in the East of Egypt and then to march on Cairo, the capital of the country, which the rebels were threatening to destroy in the event of an invasion.

An Anglo-Indian force was sent from India to join the British contingent in the Suez Canal.

The landing at Alexandria was a feint. General Wolseley concealed his true plan from everyone except his immediate staff, which was to land at Ismailia, at the Northern end of the Suez Canal and to march West to Cairo, attacking Arabi’s army in its positions at Tel-El-Kebir on the railway and main irrigation canal.

The British contingent landed at Ismailia around 20th August 1882 securing the local barracks and canal facilities, while the Anglo-Indian contingent came up the canal from the Persian Gulf in the South.

At 4am on 24th August 1882 General Wolseley’s army marched out of Ismailia along the line of the railway, moving West towards Cairo, to attack Arabi’s army at the town of Tel-El-Kebir situated on the line of the railway and irrigation canal.

Arabi’s army had in the meanwhile dammed the irrigation canal that ran alongside the railway with the aim of cutting off the water supply to the Anglo-Indian army and the town of Ismailia.

General Graham’s brigade was pushed forward to Kassassin where there was a lock on the irrigation canal. Graham’s brigade formed in position across the railway line and canal.

Late on 24th August 1882 an Egyptian force, comprising guns and infantry, appeared to the North of Graham’s position. Graham engaged them. Seeing that the Egyptians’ flank was exposed, Graham directed Major General Drury-Lowe to attack the Egyptians with the cavalry brigade.

Drury-Lowe lead forward his mounted force comprising a composite regiment of Household Cavalry (a squadron from each of 1st Life Guards, 2nd Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards, the ‘Blues’) and 7th Dragoon Guards with 4 guns of N/A Battery, Royal Horse Artillery.

Drury-Lowe was aided in reaching the battle line by the gun flashes in the gathering darkness. The first fire was opened by the Egyptians. Drury-Lowe engaged them with his guns and then launched the Household Cavalry in a charge. The Egyptian infantry were swept away and their guns abandoned and captured in the ‘Moonlight Charge’ of the Battle of Kassassin.

Informed of this success Graham returned to his positions at Kassassin. General Sir Garnet Wolseley completed the build up of his army around the Kassassin position by 12th September 1882. Arabi’s Egyptian army lay at Tel-El-Kebir some 6 miles distant. Tel-El-Kebir comprised a small town to the South of the line of the canal and the Cairo-Ismailia railway that ran parallel and to the North of the canal.

Over the preceding weeks the Egyptian army of some 20,000 soldiers with 59 guns, some of them modern German Krupp made weapons, had built a length of entrenchment starting with redoubts at the canal and railway and stretching north some 3 miles to the end of a raised section of ground. A second section of entrenchment covered the Egyptian camp to the rear.

General Wolseley resolved to attack the Egyptian line at dawn, following a night approach march. His army formed up with the 2nd Division, commanded by Lieutenant General Sir Edward Hamley, on the left; the Highland Brigade leading with the second brigade of the Division in reserve immediately to its rear. The 1st Division took the right with Major General Graham’s brigade to the front and the Guards Brigade commanded by the Duke of Connaught, in reserve. The guns, commanded by Colonel Goodenough, advanced in the area between the 2 reserve brigades. The cavalry brigade commanded by Major General Drury-Lowe, augmented to a division by the addition of the Indian regiments, took the right of the army, conforming to the Guards Brigade, its role being to sweep around the Egyptian flank once the infantry had stormed the entrenchments and make for Cairo to prevent the destruction of the Egyptian capital by Arabi’s rebels.

The Indian brigade was to advance along the canal/railway line on the South side, to clear the Egyptian redoubts in that area, and take the town of Tel-El-Kebir, before moving on to the next station up the line, Zag-a-Zig.

The direction of the night-time advance was to be supervised by Lieutenant Rawson, Royal Navy, navigating by the stars from the left flank.

The night march to the entrenchments went surprisingly smoothly, except that the advancing army drifted to its right. Dawn broke with the Highland Brigade within 150 yards of the Egyptian line. A heavy fire immediately broke out. The 4 regiments of the Highland Brigade, led by its commander, Major General Allison, and General Hamley, the Divisional Commander, stormed into the entrenchments, the two centre regiments, the Gordons and Camerons leading. The Black Watch on the right of the brigade found the resistance hard to overcome, until supported by 3rd Battalion the King’s Royal Rifle Corps from the divisional reserve. On the left the Highland Light Infantry were unable to break into the entrenchments until re-inforced by the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry from the reserve brigade.

On the right, General Graham’s brigade met heavy resistance but drove the Egyptians from their trenches with the support of guns from the centre.

Following the success of the infantry attack, General Drury-Lowe took his cavalry division in a sweep around the Egyptian left flank and rode down the Egyptian rear towards the bridge crossing the canal into Tel-El-Kebir, accelerating the route of the retreating Egyptian troops.

To the South of the canal, the Seaforth Highlanders attacked the Egyptian redoubt while and 20th Punjabis (Brownlow’s) moved around the Egyptian right flank and stormed a village from which fire was being directed, both battalions supported by 7th Bengal Native Infantry and 29th Bombay Native Infantry.

The Indian brigade then moved into the town of Tel-El-Kebir. The battle was finished with the Egyptian army in rout.

Following the battle the cavalry division secured Cairo on 14th September 1882 and accepted the surrender of Arabi. On 25th September 1882 the Khedive re-entered his capital escorted by British and Indian troops.

Casualties:

The Egyptians are said to have suffered 2,000 dead and an unquantified number of wounded. 66 guns were captured.

The British and Indian casualties were: 9 officers and 48 non-commissioned ranks killed and 27 officers and 353 non-commissioned ranks wounded. 22 men were reported missing.

Follow-up:
The Egyptian War began Britain’s involvement in Egypt and the Sudan, leading to the campaign in the Sudan to attempt the rescue of General Gordon in 1898. British troops finally left Egypt and the Sudan after the Second World War.

Regimental anecdotes and traditions:

• While planning the campaign in London General Wolseley said he would win the war in a battle in the area of Tel-El-Kebir around the middle of September 1882, which is exactly what happened.
• Lieutenant General Sir Edward Hamley, commanding the 2nd Division, was a veteran of the Crimean War, having had horses shot under him at the Battles of the Alma and Inkerman. A Royal Artillery officer, General Hamley wrote a popular history of the Crimean War.
• For some reason a correspondent from the Kolnische Zeitung accompanied the British army. He wrote of the army: “… The private soldiers vary much more than ours. There are among them old and young, weak and strong. In general, the strong predominate. Many of them are splendid men, with muscles like those of the ‘dying gladiator’. The uniform is the red tunic and Indian mud-coloured helmet. The Household Cavalry, Rifles, Marines and Artillery do not wear red tunics. All, however, wear the sun helmet, which is of a beautiful shape, but an ugly colour. They also wear a flannel shirt and needlessly warm woolen trousers. The little wooden water-bottle that each soldier carries at his belt appears very practical, as the water keeps cooler than in flasks of tin….. The Hussars and Dragoons are to be distinguished only by their leggings, as they also wear red tunics and helmets. The Indian Cavalry look well in their uniform which resembles that of the Cossacks. They carry lances; their pointed shoes are in the style of the fifteenth century. All these men have gipsy faces with beautiful fiery eyes. They move with a cat-like softness, peculiar to all southern Asiatics. These Indians know better than any one else how to forage and steal. Among the British officers, especially the Guards, are crowds of lords with £10,000 a year and more, but without knowing it beforehand, no one would find out…. They have almost unlimited as regards uniform when not on duty. If it is difficult for the Continental European to distinguish between German regiments, it is more so when British officers not on duty wear the half military, half civilian costume. They appear in yellow leather lace-boots and gaiters, fancy coats, broad belts, gigantic revolver-pockets, scarfs, etc….As far as I was able to judge, they did not trouble themselves much about their men….”

• The Egyptian campaign formed a clear marker in the change of campaign dress to the more utilitarian. The Royal Marine Light Infantry and some of the other regiments abandoned pipe clay and stained their white equipment and helmets with tea and tobacco-juice. Several of the Indian regiments already wore grey or drab which was adopted by British regiments. New drab jackets arrived for the army, but too late for the fighting.
• During the attack on the Egyptian entrenchments one of the guns of N/2 Battery of the Royal Artillery broke a wheel. The battery and its successor took the nickname ‘The Broken Wheel Battery’.
Decorations:
The troops involved in the Egyptian campaign received the British medal for Egypt, 1882, with the clasp, where appropriate, Tel-El-Kebir. They also received the Khedive’s bronze star from the Khedive of Egypt.

Boko Haram militants kill 11 Chad troops: military source


N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - Suspected militants from Nigeria's Boko Haram group killed 11 soldiers in an attack over the border in Chad early on Tuesday, a Chadian military source said.

Seventeen attackers also died in the clash in an area that has seen a series of raids by the fighters, increasingly moving out of their heartlands to strike in Nigeria's neighbours.

Chad is a leading contributor to a 8,700-strong regional force fighting Boko Haram, a movement which wants to carve out an Islamist caliphate and has allied itself to Islamic State.

"It was around 4 a.m. (11:00 p.m. EDT) that they attacked us by surprise," an officer involved in the battle in the Lake Chad border region told Reuters.

Chad's President Idriss Deby has said he believes Boko Haram can be defeated by the end of the year.

His capital N'Djamena is less than 100 km (60 miles) from the group's stronghold in northeastern Nigeria and will be the regional force's headquarters.

Nigerian Army Deploys Special Forces To Geidam



The reinforcement followed a late evening attack on a military base on Wednesday that lasted about 12 hours leaving three soldiers dead.

Residents of the town were thrown into panic all through the night while the attack lasted.

The bandits are believed to have made their way to town through Damasak area after overpowering men at the military checkpoint in Geidam.

Weapons were destroyed during the attack of the military base while a second group proceeded to town looting food items in the market and setting shops ablaze.

The Chief of Army staff, Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai, was not impressed with the performance of the dislodged troops.

He did not mince words when he read the riot act to officers and men insisting that they all live up to expectation.

Two Armoured Personnel Carriers and vehicles belonging to the federal troops were among items destroyed by the assailants.

The Chief of Army Staff, however, gave the assurance that the Army would not relent in its efforts to disband the rebel group.

The number of civilian casualties is yet to be verified but at least three persons are feared dead.
