souldust: someone should answer those questions i asked on page 432. I am expecting answers from @andrewza and @henry. Then why say "someone answer"? Address them directly. Are you demented? You can see they aren't here. So, what are you doing screaming about it? |

all4naija: The truth is that your military power is dwindling. It will no longer be able to protect your nation soveriegnty with time to come. There will be need for Angola invading your cities in the near future and take over your huge natural resources. Well, fine. I am happy to go now. Have done my bit. Happy arguing. We all know I don't care about your military arguments. Chow now...  |

souldust: pls eplain all these to me in lay man's english. Platoon, batallion, brigade as well as brigadier general if it has to do with the word brigade: Platoon, I think a platoon is about 12-44 soldiers. Led by a lieutenant. A battallion is about 970-1100 troops A brigade is a full military structure. 5,000 troops, Commanded by colonel. Eg airborne brigade, amphibious forces brigade, special forces brigade, mechanised or armoured brigade. Division= headed by a GOC ( general officer commander) is in charge of all the brigades in his sector. For example, HQ 1 division in kaduna, 82 division in enugu is the headquarters of all the brigades in the south south and south east. A battalion is always led by a person in the rank of a general and above. |

all4naija: Don't worry it,it won't float to Cape Town as it is going to be equipped with anchor to dock it. Just make sure that you anchor it tightly because the whole class of students could end up in Cape Town. By the way I still doubt safety of those so called schools. |

souldust: is the navy and airforce pretty much the same? No. A battlion is a unit. A ship is a unit. Both are led by a seniro officer(for the most part). Diffrenc is that a ship can have a crew of a 100 and be run by a captian and a battlion of 1000 can be run by colonel |

Platoon, 25-50 soldiers commanded by lieutenant Company, 80-200 soldiers commanded by captain/major Battalion 600-1200 soldiers commanded by lieutenant colonel/colonel (vital in coup plotting ops, battalion commander) Brigade 3,000-5000 soldiers commanded by brigadier general Division 10,000-15,000 soldiers commanded by major general Corps 20,000-50,000 soldiers commanded by lieutenant general field army 80,000-200,000 soldiers commanded by general army group 400,000-1,000,000 commanded by field marshal it differs for navy and air force, because a navy captain is to command a warship and crew size on board ships varie, can be 50 can be 200 seamen. air force officer like squadron leader may command 6 to 12 jet fighters of 6 to 24 pilots. compare equivalent army, navy, air force ranks on http://www.nigerianprofessional.com/militaryranks.html personal : my big regret in life....never allowed to joined the military my big dream in life....future defence minister, nigeria |

souldust: i heard some students argueing about who can and cannot be an ADC to the president. All of the boys said the president's ADC must be a coloniel but one said a coloniel cant be an ADC. OBJ's ADC was a coloniel (oh, that handsome man, he is late!) same as yar'adua. But GEJ's ADC is a major. So whats the real thing? Is it right for a coloniel to be an ADC or not? What is a ADC? Yes we have the same ranks Coloniel is one under becoming a genrial. The guy could be due for promostion. |

zaandrew:an ADC is an odlay (not sure the spelling but you should know it) @all, why is it that there has never being a field marshal in the nigerian army. And also, its equivalent in the navy and airforce? Have you had a field marshal in SA army before? And also, its equivalent in the navy and airforce? Do we currently have Generals in the Nigerian army? I ask this becos, Ihejirika is a Lt. General Hope i am not irritating you with my questions? If i am, then i appologize |

souldust: an ADC is an odlay (not sure the spelling but you should know it) Ok I under stand. And I don't know if zuma has one from the milltary. And if he did any officer would do(though a senori officer is a better opstion). Ii not like the guy is euning the milltary. My first boss was once the aid of the minster of defense (1980s) and he was a chief petty oiffercer then. Last sa field marshal was during ww2. The orgonistional structer of the sa milltary post ww2 did not have a need for one. O and it is sea marshal and air marshal. And no only ever had field marshals. Typcaly a milltary the size of nigeria will only have one full genrail or admarial. He is the chief of defense. Over all in charge of all branches. Typical it is army genrail since they the supperor servis. Though sa did have a full admrail once has chief of defense. |

souldust: an ADC is an odlay (not sure the spelling but you should know it) according to the info @agaugust pasted, a field marshal commands between 400,000- 1 million troops. This is just one of the criteria's. I believe an extraordinary military achievement by a general in war time. We do not meet any of the criteria's. To be honest, for the second question, I have no idea. |
