Internal Security Attack: Swift Government Response By Air Difficult by talktrue4eva: 6:42pm On Jul 07, 2022
Having studied this concept for years, I would say it requires a lot of coordination.

Some of the reasons why it's difficult to swiftly respond to internal security attacks includes:

Politics: I notice that the federal government play politics with funding the tactical units. Most of the units suffer poor funding.

Training: most of the personnel are not trained, some untrained special forces retreat in battle during attack.

Intelligence gathering: operatives mostly go in with few or little details. Most are blind to relevant information needed to surrender the enemies.

Lack of drones: government keep acquiring this vital technical equipment on white paper yearly.

Timing: it requires approximately 30mins to take off on attack helicopters when all is green including supply of aviation fuel. Lack of fuel dump (storage) causes delay in take off even with express clearance from the air traffic controller. Fighter jet requires at least same amount of time for safety flight pre-checks and clearance from the office of the national security adviser.

Lack of readily available Combat: In this period of security challenge, a serious government will maintain and rotate at least half unit of combat men inside the airport base which will cost them personnel allowance probably weekly, accommodation around d airport base, and advanced weaponry. They will receive short briefing from the control room and immediately proceed for mission. This include cost of maintaining and rotating flight crew to make the flight operations possible. Standby combat trained pilots and maintenance crew for each attack aircraft.

Constitution powers: Then there is this problem of information Sharing among agencies, everyone wants to do eachodas job and take glory, even among armed forces. Some times information gets spoilt when it travels from one organisation to another.

Problem of Over using same personnel: lack of shift duty and rest on the operatives

Lack of welfare: no welfare package most times for the men actually risking their lives on land and in the air.

Other issues are being stimulated.

Government need to do more to provide more weapons, more attack aircrafts at least two in a state (12per geopolitical zone) to bring air power closer to all regions, more training for personnel on land and on air.

Above all, government need to review it's policies. We fight because of government policies. A situation where the people say they dont want cows or ranch routes and the government want it by force, people will revolt and this leads to more security challenges. The people are divided towards ethnic and tribal perspective. if the people wants restructuring, decentralization, state police and these tins are done in civilized clime, why say no if not greed to hold on to power at the Centre. Aggrieved groups and unsatisfied politicians will tend to hijack the security to teach the incumbent lessons. The police and other security agencies suffer in all.
