During the VPs visit?

bidexiii:




No doughts that he was not in the North-east theatre during the former president regime.

He himself wrote an article on his website, crediting the success to the Nigerian Army troops. Eeben Barlow made it clear that he and his mercenaries where in Nigeria only to train the men of the 72MSF on some hardware they recently procured.

My man, is this all that you can say? What about what Barlow puts forward in terms of doctrine? TTPs? Agree, disagree? Why?

Basically, does bidexiii have an opinion on anything?

Yeah.

Gentlemen, I believe we have now come full circle on the issue of PMCs. Circa 2014 and even earlier I was known on beegeagles blog for recommending that NA employ the services of a good PMC as military advisers/mentors.

For some reason this was the most opposed pov on that blog ever.

Colonel eeben was finally subcontracted in the waning days of GEJ's government . He stood up and advised on the equipping of the 72MSF.

Their TTPs were clearly based on that of the buffalo mrap riding SADF in Namibia .This unit to date has been the tip of the spear against BHTs
And NAs most effective unit.

But PMB d/ced eebens contract and our military went back to winging it.

NA needs embedded advisors to prosecute and win this war period.

Errr,sometimes the reason people don't venture an opinion is because they don't have one-which is no bad thing in itself. Just think of some of the poo we've been forced to read here by those pretending to know and forcefully inflicting their ignorance on normal people!

It's a sensitive issue that till date the defense HQ and M.O.D has said little or nothing about till date. That is why someone like me will rather keep quite.

I'll rather keep quite and allow people like you rant and spit shit, displaying your level of ignorance. Even Eeben Barlow himself only gave one press release regarding these issue on behalf of STTEP company only and wrote two articles to clarify these issues.

It's not necessary, you spit .....

Eeben has his opinion but there's something I have always queried and this made me message an uncle of mine who's a major general.

The last time we talked about him, he admired the fact that Eeben gave victory and credit to the Nigerian military but eeben talks like he knows much than the military hirachy here.

Anyways... You can check his response.

There is a lot in here that corroborates what a One Star has implied.
2014 was the worst year.Equipment was deliberately not procured.Communication was non existent during firefights Brave , loyal soldiers used their own cellphones and whatsapp to call in Fire.
I don't want to get political but the average Nigerian officer at the Major through Colonel level who fought and survived and kept the bulk of their troops safe need to be commended.
The election seems to of changed everything.Let me rest I want to keep this from being political.Like Eebs has said repeatedly unprompted Credit should be given to the Nigerian Soldiers.

Senegal Air Force, never seen an EO pod mounted on the side of a hind like that before.

Over here in Minna there are some impressive ranges. Sadly since I have zero experience in climbing I go as high as luck & will let's me and just take in the scenery! The troubles of life seem to melt then

Ok let me give this a go.

TTPs refer to technique, tactics and procedures.

In the hunter/killer world of counterinsurgency, this refers to the 3 Fs.

Find, Fix, some say Flank and Kill cycle.

So how is NA really performing Vis a viv these concepts.

NAF has invested in Chinese and indigenous drones to improve ISR which improves our ability to FIND. The US has donated our piloted ISR platforms we need to buy more at least 12 planes.

FIX: might refer to the precision targeting process.

Closing or flanking is NA's Achilles heel.
Our well trained/foreign trained special forces need the appropriate chariots to close in and take out the just spotted enemy.
Here, hilux trucks is not always survivable .

That's why reva mraps were used by 72 MSF to horizontally envelop the battle space. Accounting for the rough ambush and IED prone terrain.
We also need mi-17 helicopters to ferry troops vertically to their target.

Kill: neutralize with extreme prejudice .

This keeps bbt on the back foot. You are constantly chasing and harassing them based on intel generated from surveillance assets.

This is not about clearing territory for bhts to return the next day

There must be total. Buy in of the strategy , so you don't have conventionally minded generals waisting the lives of well trained counterinsurgency troops.
By misusing them.

‪Col. Adegoke Adetuyi, Commandant, Operation Safe Corridor (Gombe), met with Gov. Kashim Shettima on the planned transfer of Ex-Boko Haram members to the Borno State Government having concluded de-radicalization & rehabilitation program, ready to be reintegrated back to the society.‬



What's your take on this ex-bokoharam members should they be given a second chance after the deradicalization & rehabilitation program and ready to be reintegrated back to the society. ........
