Pakistani trained are the AHSG, strike group .

Don't mix things up, am not saying the AHSG guys are Pakistani trained or not. The AHSG was born
when the Army saw the effectiveness of the MSF, then it created the Army Headquarter Strike Group(AHSG) .
Now not only NA personnel where trained in Pakistan, there are NN and NAF personnel has well.

Presently now AFSF and larger percentage of AHSG are Pakistani trained, Do you get my point .

Odunayaw:
Okay you're saying only the AFSF is the only special unit in theatre

Both unit are still in the theatre.

What am saying is they are rotated. You might not see much presence of the SBSC. The AFSF boots In the N.E are the one trained in Pakistan

Odunayaw:
I know AFSf is in theatre


The SBS is in theatre too (Lake Chad), 111 SFBn( the ones that knocked out Boko's rocket manufacturing centre). Pray tell, isn't there an overlap/duplication of mission seeing 2/3 of the units in theatre are active in CTCOIN/COIN

Hope you get my drift

Yes I get your point.

Those SBS guys that knocker out BHT rocket factories are back to there respective base, most of them has spent over 3-4 years in the north east theatre. So there is no duplication of mission seeing.

For the AFSF boots on ground are mostly the Pakistani trained ones.

The ONSA isn't that all encompassing as you put it, there has been bones hanging out of that body here and there. However, I am not concerned about ONSA at all but the AFSF. Seeing that some special units still exist in theatre,it is quite confusing what the role/mission is in the array of things

The AFSF are still very much in the North East theatre.

Dude, you just repeated the exact same thing he said.

How then did he get it all wrong?

Funny thing is, i'm not even one to support that individual.

CAPITAL NO.
.He said ; That the Nigerian Armed Forces Special Forces (AFSF) comprises SF from the Army, Navy and Air Force

And am telling him the AFSF does not comprise of SF the NA,NAF & NN only. In fact they are minority.

He also claimed- SF environment will soon get sorted out?

What is it I don't know? That the Nigerian Armed Forces Special Forces (AFSF) comprises SF from the Army, Navy and Air Force (and sometimes DSS and other agencies); or that the SF environment will soon get sorted out?

You got it all wrong .

Most of the AFSF are drawn from regiment of NA, NN & NAF. Only few SF from NN..etc

DHQ DEVELOPS NEW VETERAN ADMINISTRATION MODEL, FUSE ASSOCIATIONS

The Nigerian Military Veterans have resolved to come together under a proposed umbrella body to be named Veterans Federation of Nigeria (VFN) to replace the existing Nigerian Legion. This unification was part of the communiqué reached at the end of a three-day workshop organized by the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) for military retirees held in Abuja from 21-23 May 2018.
The workshop tagged, “Unification of Veterans’ Association in Nigeria: A Panacea for Building a Vibrant Veterans Association,’’ was well attended by the leaderships of the various affiliated veterans’ associations across the country.
The workshop was the first of its kind and an initiative of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), which addressed the issue of effective veterans’ management and administration system and the welfare of military retirees.
Speaking at the workshop, CDS, General Gabriel Olonisakin who was the Special Guest of Honour, said the idea behind the workshop is to promote the unity and welfare of veterans while in retirement. He explained that the proliferation of veteran associations in the country has hampered the progress of military retirees.
According to the CDS, “it is our desire to see the emergence of a single unified body for effective management and administration of all our military veterans.”He added that the proposed veteran system would be a legacy that will not only benefit the military retirees but also those still in active service as government would seek to adequately address issues of veterans welfare.
The CDS recalled that the quest to seek a robust veteran administration was mooted last year. “Thus, as part of our efforts to improve the administration of our veterans, I approved a team to visit Egypt in December 2017 to study the Egyptian model of veteran administration. He said while the Team recommendations are being considered, “the DHQ organized the workshop to fashion out an appropriate veteran administration model in Nigeria.’’
General Olonisakin, described the Nigerian Armed Forces as “the pride of the nation,” adding that the military have been the stronghold of the nation despite contentious trends that often threaten the unity of the country.
He said aside from defending the territorial integrity of the nation, support to civil authority as well as maintenance of international peace and security, the Armed Forces is an embodiment of qualified personnel who can also contribute to national development.
The CDS also congratulated the participants for a successful deliberation, noting that “the outcome of the workshop will certainly be the basis of future engagements on the way forward for military veteran association which is the proposed Veteran Federation of Nigeria.”
Earlier, the Director of Veteran Affairs Division, Major General Edward Obi while welcoming the participants to the workshop, appreciated the country’s patriots, especially the Civil War veterans for what he described as “greatest sacrifice of self for the peace, security and development of the country.” He further stated that their sense of patriotism is never in doubt and does not end with the termination of active service.
Major General Obi who commended the CDS for initiating the workshop, explained that it is expected to form the nucleus for the attainment of the standards that is obtainable in countries where veterans are highly respected and accorded privileges.
A paper on the “Imperative for Unification of Veterans’ Association in Nigeria was delivered by Major General SD Aliyu Retired. While two other papers titled: “Veterans’ Administration in the 21st Century: The United Kingdom and the Egypt Experience,'' were delivered by Brigadier General Charlie Calber, the British Defence Attaché to Nigeria and Major General Umar Retired.

What's not to understand? It's a joint command of SOF from all 3 services of the Armed Forces: Army, Navy and Air Force. They're still each responsible for their own publicity within the Command.
Give it time, Nigeria will soon sort out her Special Forces environment.

It's not the joint command of SOF, from the 3 arms of the military.

The military special forces environment his well sorted with clear objectives.

Don't talk what you don't know.

CAS VISITS FRONTLINE TROOPS AS NAF EXPANDS MEDICAL FACILITIES IN YOLA, COMMISSIONS OTHER PROJECTS

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, today 26 May 2018, visited Nigerian Air Force (NAF) frontline troops serving in Yola. During the visit, he held interactive sessions with the officers and airmen/airwomen in the operational theatre during which he appreciated their sacrifices and also urged them to remain highly professional. The sessions also enabled him to receive direct feedbacks from the personnel and respond as necessary. Furthermore, the visit provided the opportunity to commission the recently expanded medical facilities at the 163 NAF Hospital Yola. The expansion entails the building of an additional ward, dedicated for officers’ use, and the procurement of additional medical equipment for the hospital. The expansion of the medical facilities followed the need to further improve medical care for the frontline personnel serving in Yola, who are playing a critical role in the ongoing counterinsurgency operation in the Northeast. The CAS led His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Adamawa State, who was represented by the Deputy Governor, His Excellency Honourable Martins Babale, and other dignitaries to commission the new ward in the hospital. Other projects across the collocated units at NAF Base Yola, all aimed at improving personnel welfare, were equally commissioned today. The projects include 2 blocks of 10 x one studio apartment for airmen/airwomen and 10 x one Single Officers’ Quarters for officers.

While commissioning the projects, the Adamawa State Governor noted, with satisfaction, the several developmental projects already witnessed at NAF Base Yola under the current NAF leadership. He added that not only had the projects gone a long way in boosting personnel welfare but also contributing to overall development in the State. He therefore commended Air Marshal Abubakar for his apparent commitment, resilience and prudent use of resources. He also urged the personnel to make judicious use of the new facilities while announcing that Adamawa State would continue to support the NAF to ensure the achievement of its goals, including attainment of security in the Northeast. He seized the opportunity to disclose that the State had secured the approval to build an airport at Mubi and that the airport would be collocated with the NAF Detachment in Mubi, to complement NAF efforts in the area.

In his remarks, the CAS stated that, as a way of realizing his vision for the NAF, the Service had been restructured for enhanced operational effectiveness. He further stated that necessary platforms and equipment were being acquired and reactivated while training was receiving optimum attention. He added that, in recognition of the importance of the human being, the welfare of personnel was also being considerably looked after, in line with the policy directive of President Buhari. According to him, that was why resources had been expended in building additional residential accommodation and expanding the medical facilities for the frontline personnel in Yola. He also disclosed plans to expand the NAF secondary school in Yola to ensure that the wards of the personnel and members of the host community receive quality education. He then thanked President Buhari for the immense support being given to the NAF. In addition, he thanked the Adamawa State Governor and the people of Adamawa State for their support and hospitality. He then promised that the NAF would continue to work with other security agencies in the State to enhance security in Adamawa State and environs.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commander 153 Base Services Group Yola, Air Commodore Anthony Ndace, stated that it was heartwarming to note that the NAF leadership had made the welfare of personnel a priority, a development, which he noted had enhanced professionalism, commitment and optimum service delivery. The CAS and his team of officers from Headquarters NAF had since returned to Abuja.

That trooper in the first pic on the gunner's chair looks so mean!! . With the rate at which we see NAF regt personnel in the AFSF one would think that going into the future the Regt would be a very experienced unit.


I can't really help my hands I must say I dislike those black inners (isn't black a bad idea in the sun?)

Yeah he looks mean

Most AFSF I know or pictures I have posted are mostly from NAF or NN; what's wrong the NAF
