Tactically this is not a good stategy since Boko Haram war is not a conventional warfare where the enemies are known. So it will be suicidal on the part of Nigeria since BH can easily overrun even an army base.
I pray Buhari will reconsidered this decision.

Exactly, PMB should know part of where Boko boys get their weapons is when they overun the NA, case Madalla,Baga and maidugari when Boko boys Over ran our military, Scores of NA hardware fall into their hands.
Don't forget Boko boys are driven by ideology that they will certainly die one day and bound to make more impact by killing mindlessly, couple with the fact they are foreign-aided and can re-strategised any time.
PMB should still re consider the pros and cons of this decision.

A good leader should think out of the box to achieve success.No leader can achieve success by following the conventional ways of doing things.Many countries that achieved their fit followed the above.What I expect from Nigerians is patience for this administration. I bet you, your words will change very soon just like Fayose is already doing now.

Op ifedubatoochukw

Ure a gullible herdsman. Its brain work. They equipped the military less and gave the boko info as we all know. If they are in their midst, they will fight it for their lives

A good political analyst doesn't judge lik dis .u re too quick in passing ur conclusion abt dis government

Baba one chance hv spoken.

Lmaoooo.

The article is comparing Nigeria with America which has the best communications for smooth flow of information between the boots on ground and the command centre.

Okay Na. It is time you guys learn about non-convectional warfare

THIS WRITER MUST BE FROM MARS. ARE HUMAN BEIGNS NOT LIVING IN BORNO? THIS WRITER SJOULD EVEN FAULT THE LOCATION OF THE CENTRE IN ABUJA AS BH ALSO OPERATES THERE AT WILL. THE UN BUILDING THAT WAS ATTACKED, IS IT LOCATED IN BORNO?

If you want to cook you have to get into the Kitchen. Buhari simply ordered the military to use common sense and redouble efforts by moving closer to the action. A central command makes key decisions swiftly without unnecessary delays or bureaucracy. Besides the immediate effect of greater focus it is a huge moral booster for the entire region.

No longer will they feel that the Country has abandoned them.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja directed the central command of the military to relocate to Maiduguri, Borno, to intensify the fight against Boko Haram insurgency.

Buhari, who gave the directive in his address after his inauguration, said it was impossible to achieve victory against the insurgents if the command continued to operate from Abuja.

He said that the command center would relocate and remain in Maiduguri until the insurgents were subdued.

No where in the History of world military History will the military central command be located right in the combat zone it is the height of unprofessional-ism which is about to force me to revisit the issue of Buhari certificate scandal. let us use the United state of America model as a case study .

Military Central command are non combatants they are not infantry units but expertise from various field of course


Structure

Central Command headquarters staff directorates include personnel, intelligence, operations, logistics, plans & policy, information systems, training & exercises, and resources, and other functions. The intelligence section is known as Joint Intelligence Center, Central Command, or JICCENT, which serves as a Joint Intelligence Center for the co-ordination of intelligence. Under the intelligence directorate, there are several divisions

In the United State the Central Military Command directs four "service component commands" and one subordinate unified command and no fighting units directly subordinate to it:

The United States Army Central (USARCENT), and the United States Air Forces Central Command (USAFCENT), both headquartered at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, the U.S. Marine Forces Central Command (USMARCENT), headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida and the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (USNAVCENT), headquartered at Naval Support Activity Bahrain in the Kingdom of Bahrain. MacDill Air Force Base also hosts a Sub-unified command called the Special Operations Command Central (USSOCCENT).

In 1983, U.S. Military Central Command was established to succeed the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force, formed at MacDill AFB, Florida on 1 March 1980, to handle US national security interests in Southwest Asia, Central Asia and the Persian G

The USA Central Military Command main headquarters is located at MacDill Air Force Base, in Tampa, Florida. A forward headquarters was established in 2002 at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha, Qatar, which in 2009 transitioned to a forward headquarters at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar to serve American strategic interests interest in the following countries as the Area of Responsibilty.

Tactically its a great Blunder for Mr Buhari to relocated the Military Central command right into sambisa forest when he knew quite well that these people are non combatants they are not infantry soldiers and their area of responsibilty covers a wider area than just boko haram. they monitor , deploy and protect both Nigeria air land and water from both internal and external aggression.

Relocating Nigeria military Central Command to frontline war zone is the most senseless decision any president have ever taken and such action is capable of endangering Nigeria external security an outside force may invade the nation of Nigeria in time like these..

This wrong decision calls for us to revisit Buhari certificate scandal and how he come about his title of Major General when he is incapable of simple kindergarten Military Decision

less than a few hours into his stint as president.i can only say that this an unforeseeable error which i pray will not become the norm in COIN OPPS FOR the military.i understand where PMB is coming from someone trained and doctored in the doctrine of concentration of fire rather than mobility. the fact still remains the the 7 division (maimalari barracks) borno state is the command and control asset saddled with the responsibility of dictating the activities of element in it AOR(area of responsibility) other sub divisions exist in that structure in CT- coin operations in the area such as the 104 batt konduga.every Command (battalion,brigade,regiment etc) either digitally or analog in nature is a command and control asset with a special sub motive.. to the simple it is laudable and decisive,to political jobbers his is the man of the moment,to unconcerned individuals let just get Bh done with abi. some people fail to understand that whatever we achieve now will be a pointer to our deployment protocols in a conventional conflict. moving the entire command and control structure(which i doubt will not happen) is as good as pointing out that your entire central asset has no integration channels.. i would have loved to hear him say that the concentration would have been of mobile assets (special forces) pushing the Central CC structure for which the 7 div is answerable to is a good as deleting the powers of the 7 div hence there is no need for the 7 div and no presence of concentrated structure.. it negates the doctrine for which the 72 Mobile strike force was created.. for those of you thinking that pushing CC will not be tantamount to leaving the center void.una dey craze. some people fail to realize that modification and improvement are all we need to continously evolve. typical 1980 fire brigade approach ask the iraqis in the iraq-iran war(a conventional war and not even COIN) of that era and they will educate you more on how unstable this move is.. lets see how it goes viva nigeria

What I want to know is how a moderator could promote this silly write up by a self acclaimed political analyst to the front page.
This write up is full of half truths and innuendos for crying out loud.

less than a few hours into his stint as
president.i can only say that this an
unforeseeable error which i pray will not
become the norm in COIN OPPS FOR the
military.i understand where PMB is coming from
someone trained and doctored in the doctrine of
concentration of fire rather than mobility.
the fact still remains the
the 7 division (maimalari barracks) borno state is
the command and control asset saddled with the
responsibility of dictating the activities of
element in it AOR(area of responsibility)
other sub divisions exist in that structure in CT-
coin operations in the area such as the 104 batt
konduga.every Command
(battalion,brigade,regiment etc) either digitally
or analog in nature is a command and control
asset with a special sub motive..
to the simple it is laudable and decisive,to
political jobbers his is the man of the
moment,to unconcerned individuals let just get
Bh done with abi.
some people fail to understand that whatever
we achieve now will be a pointer to our
deployment protocols in a conventional conflict.
moving the entire command and control
structure(which i doubt will not happen) is as
good as pointing out that your entire central
asset has no integration channels..
i would have loved to hear him say that the
concentration would have been of mobile assets
(special forces)
pushing the Central CC structure for which the 7
div is answerable to is a good as deleting the
powers of the 7 div hence there is no need for
the 7 div and no presence of concentrated
structure..
it negates the doctrine for which the 72 Mobile
strike force was created..
for those of you thinking that pushing CC will
not be tantamount to leaving the center
void.una dey craze.
some people fail to realize that modification and
improvement are all we need to continously
evolve.
typical 1980 fire brigade approach ask the iraqis
in the iraq-iran war(a conventional war and not
even COIN) of that era and they will educate

Ifeduba ThankGod T ( political Analyst writes in from Anambra state)

OP, you seem to be lost in a maze of military and tactical vocabularies to simply understand what the President meant. The Central Command of the Nigerian Military remains in Abuja. It's the Command & Control Centre set up for this particular insurgency that will be relocated to Maiduguri. When wars are fought, the Command & Control centres are not far from the battle centres. This is to ensure the immediacy of actions based on sitreps and speedy logistics. This Command and Control Centre reports to the Central Command at the Military HQ, which is Abuja in our case. For your information, the Command & Control Centres for the American forces in Iraq is in Kuwait & Qatar and only reports to the ones in the States. NATO's Command & Control Centre is in Kabul, with annexes in Kandahar and Helmand. These Centres are set up for each Campaigns and are not the CENTRAL command centre like you are making people believe

its a dangerous move,

A BLOODY CIVILIAN QUESTIONING A TACTICAL DECISION BY AN EX GENERAL

THANK YOUR GOD WE ARE IN A CIVILIAN REGIME

Walahi, that's why I don't even like civilian regime sef. I think we need to pass a bill of "not guaranteeing freedom after speech". Instead of military strategists analysing the move, na political analyst come dey do am??

I sense danger with this move....If care is not taking...So Nigerians should sit up. If our votes counted, our opinions should count too.

As one of posters said, if we lose our command center we lose d defense of d country.
But I must ask u as the op, why do have such little faith in ur country's military?
I also feel u watch to many American movies and it has dulled ur senses to the reality of things....... This is d Nigerian military we are talking about, not so long ago the Nigerian military was known for it's prowess on land.
Why can't we take d fight to dem, d military leaders relax in Abuja while brave men risk their lives on d battlefield, they should av a taste of the action too.

this is noise making , like a touth ....go nd sleep abeg, wat did u knw , dis is time to judge PMB , dis is time to feed him wit d same cup u pple use for GEJ, so beta get use to dat

suwailad:
Ifeduba or what you call yourself, you still have a lot to learn being a political scientist. I think you have no qualification for that, just that you have access to the internet so you can make noise like everyone else. That does not make you a political analyst, political analysts is an actual profession and not an hubby.

Political analysts take their time to access information in depth before making their analysis and not beer parlor suggestions. By the way, did you even give a solution on how to combat boko haram once and for all? But noise makers like you, the ever annoying arm chair critics are quick to judge any postulations put forth that will defeat these fools once and for all, but you guys don't have the brilliancy to come up with your solution to counter the President's own. We have had enough of this folly, and thank God it died with jonathan. So its time to shut up and start making sense not showing your worthless hobby and what it means not to be a political analyst. And your picture is eating people's bandwidth, it is not necessary, if you want to be in the limelight, start trekking for whatever hideous reasons there is.

what ended with GEJ. we expected this reactions GMB fans u paid fools that didn't allow to Jonathan to rest tink buhari will sleep

If Niger Delta Militant start, WE will move the Command Centre set for the operation to combat them close to Niger Delta.

May be you thought the speech was read off hand. It was properly researched and ventilated.

poseidon12:


So tell him about the Nigerian military. I initially thought it was a good move by the president until I read the op. Or do you know of any other country in conflict that has located the military central command inside the combat zone?

Oya, you tell me where in PMB's statement did he say he was gonna move the CENTRAL command Center to Maiduguri... i'm waiting pls...

Brief summary : on the Internet, no one knows you're a dog!

They say! Silence is the best answer for a fool..I think we can make this thing(him) loose by not responding to the trash is posting..

We celebrate ignorance with joint high level of stupidity and sentiments..... The young man wrote a wonderful stuff with a very clear fact .... You are here talking nonsense.... Military is military.... Imagine moving pentagon to combat zone or moving Israeli war room to combat zone .... It was a total down for the PMB .... .... He who thinks he knows it all end up not achieving nothing.... He needs sound and young people for advice .... A call like this shows he is so rusty and has nothing to offer.

After all your ranting and shouting, you ended up making a fool of yourself. Where was it stated that the CENTRAL command center will be moved? Don't you know that every military operation has a COMMAND CENTER setup? Do u think if there is a "break-out" or insurgency in the SW now, there will be another Command? center setup?
