As Nigeria Army Prepares To Go To War With Gambia, See Shocking Military Strength Of The Gambian Army The Gambian National Army (GNA) had a strength of 1,000 personnel in 2013 (900 from the GNA, 100 from the Gambian Air Force). The GNA is made up of two infantry battalions, an engineering squadron, and smaller logistics, signals and intelligence units, plus the presidential guard company. The GNA has upgraded its equipment to provide greater firepower and mobility. It now has several armoured cars (two of which are based at State House) and heavier caliber vehicle-mounted weapons. National Republican Guard An amendment to the Gambia Armed Forces Bill in April 2008 included the creation of a new branch of the GAF, the National Republican Guard (NRG). The NRG is thought to have a strength of 700 personnel, and is made up of a State Guard unit, a Special Forces unit, and a Presidential Guard unit. Other branches National Military Police (~400 personnel) Gambian Navy (~250 personnel); 4 Hai Ou-class fast attack craft, 2 hovercraft and several small vessels, berthed at GNS Jammeh naval base. Military manpower - availability Available for military service, males age 16-49: 423,306. Females age 16-49: 438,641 (2010 estimate) Fit for military service, males age 16-49: 315,176.

Gambia is not even in top 20 millitaries on Africa. Nigeria is number 4 according to Global fire power. Compare nigeria to Gambia see the stark difference. Source: http://www.globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-detail.asp?country_id=nigeria None of this matter though. Jameh is playing it smart. Gambia Nass already gave him extra 3 months. 8 Likes

temitemi1:in two years time it will surely be his own turn to face the music. I wonder why ecowas is allowing buhari to lead them na nigeria/buhari get ecowas? Or is he ecowas leader. Add to the fact that he has a pending case at ecowas court he is just forming so they can forget he has case on the 20 february over nnamdi kanu 7 Likes 1 Share |

Ecowas should have given this man his day in court as the constitution guaranteed even if it meant seconding judges over to the Gambia on emergency, now he has constitutional backing of the national assembly and this whole military incursion is facing a quagmire. There's something more sinister going on, I just pray for God's protection for our soldiers who are being thrown into a needless war 3 Likes |

ManirBK:I'm against the sending of anybody especially to this needless war when WA (in this case Nigeria) could have easily sent judges over even if the judges had to give a "skewered" judgement in favor of Barrow (something they're used to already). Just imagine a Nigeria that can't protect its citizens from fulani herdsmen from Libya... Smh 4 Likes |
