The Super Camp concept appears to have improved the survivability of Nigerian bases by concentrating forces in better defended locations. There is clearly a difficult balance between leaving troops in poorly defended positions to be overrun or protecting troops in larger camps but conceding ground to the enemy. Losing troops unnecessarily is clearly unsustainable, but the British Army’s experience of Platoon Houses in Helmand Province, Afghanistan has shown that well trained, well led troops with good fire support and logistics can defend small, far flung bases. In Nigeria’s case the Super Camp concept can only be a short term stop gap (if the Government ever truly wishes to eliminate Boko Haram); until the hinterlands are reoccupied with better planned, defended and resourced bases and/or deploying, highly mobile, flexible and heavily armed troops to dominate the ground.

...the enemy’s ability to move major forces from the Lake Chad area into central southern and eastern Borno speaks to their greater freedom of movement, which is most likely a consequence of the withdrawal of friendly forces into Super Camps. Whilst these camps afford greater protection to friendly forces, it abandons the civilian population to the enemy and allows them the freedom to move, manoeuvre, attack and sustain themselves over a wide swath of land.

NihiIist:
But wait, in the Nigerian army, why does a warrant officer wear a golden eagle and a major wear a silver eagle. Isn't it supposed to be the other way round.

ugo4u:

I can't really tell the exact reason but what I know is that a warant officer have spent more years in service than a Major..

Who has watched the movie..the longest war

It's a documentary on the American war in Afghanistan..

All I can say is that.. terrorism is way more hard and complex than war itself..

American war in Afghanistan was a total failure

Where kind I download it from?

Is it the one about a father and son film making duo?

AskiaHarem:
Nigeria has done a more sufficient job at containing BokoHarem than NATO has done at containing Al Qaeda in the Middle East which has spread like wildfire. Not to mention BokoHarem is rated a more dangerous group.

The fact of the matter is If BokoHarem had spawned or set there primary sites on any other nation within Africa with the exception of maybe South Africa, Egypt, or Algeria that nation would have been overrun and decimated by the end of that year; some month.

How many soldiers can make accurate shot at 500 meters? Even in US military.

Those guys are firing an enemy at almost 1km or even greater. This is neither a video game not a movie.

You can't judge the performance of the operation by what is happening in a small part of the operation except you have an overall view.

Try to be in a place where bullets are fly here and there and sure your impression will change.

NihiIist:

Someone who doesn't even know about the military and their ranks would easily think that a warrant officer is senior to a major because of that insignia alone.

Help me them oOO...
Even the almighty Americans and there allies friends NATO has failed in the Middle East, the region is getting tensed day by day and some times I wonder that prevailing over terrorism his not truly by Kinetics means rather than destroying the ideology.
All what I see in the Middle East are war mongers and contractors who want to make money. Even Libya is not left out thank God for Egypt during the Muslim brothers revolution, Egypt would have been in a mess.
One ass-hole who claims he has a qualification, thinks that makes him qualify for war/combat matters. He even went further by stating video games/movies are realistic to what we have on the real battle field. See height of ignorance of someone claiming high educational qualification.
Until to have your combat fire baptism you don’t know shit of what it takes to be out there on the battle field.

I don't understand why they had to install the secondary weapon on the BRT, it is to have something to use for soft targets? Wouldn't it prevent the main gun from rotating effectively 180 degrees?
