If it helps you sleep at night. You weren't the only one in the field. Nothing you said is unknown. We are talking of where fighting has been strongest lately. And to drown your defiance to reality that there was more proliferation of remote dug in FOBs how come about Metele. Pls shed some light. How come fewer FOBs can't be held by the Army as opposed to when we had more FOBs.

Covert1:
There were but are u telling me the military dominated Borno north like it did under Buhari?

Xbee007:
Channels T.V doesn't report on anything that would make the Nigerian government look bad.

Yes I know but there were no military structures to be knocked down 2011 - 2015 like u had 2017 - 2019 with remote FOBs. What you had were barren civilian towns with little military presence except for some few major camps like Baga. And speaking of humiliation, Baga happened again under Buhari. We are where we were before only this time the bad news is it is the military that is been put on the back foot not civilians.

John Campbell has been keeping track of civilian casualties it's no secret and for ulterior motives mostly to spite the prowess of the Nigerian Army. But ISWAP is not interested in civilian body count as Shekau's faction is and ISWAP is the game in town knocking down military outposts in quick succession leading to high casualty rates of our soldiers which is a strategic attempt by them to occupy the North-East unchallenged. That to me is an even greater danger than Boko haram.

Generals Ihejirika, Irabor, Ezugwu. Arguably Minimah who should be credited with stemming the tide in acts of insubordination to advance. The combination of Generals Leo Irabor and Ezugwu as CDS and COAS respectively should change the dynamics of this war quickly. But we can't discountenace the current Air Chief who I think is best suited for CDS. He's a warrior.

BabaOwen:
I never believed boko haram could overrun bama. Anything can happen in this battle. Don't bet your money on this present Nigeria military, morale in the northern part of borno is low.

BabaOwen:
Lol... Are soldiers still fleeing from boko haram or not? Are there still refugees camp in borno or not? What was buhari promise before he became the president? Boko haram is controlling 8 out of 10 local government in borno north.

BabaOwen:
GEJ performed more better than buhari in this fight against boko haram and iswap. Even though GEJ was a failure, buhari is turning out to be a failure disaster.

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany --

The 4th Combat Training Squadron assigned to the Warrior Preparation Center at Einsiedlerhof Air Station, Germany, hosted Nigerian and Tunisian service members for the first iteration of a new two-week course, Sept. 9-20.

The Africans participated in the first Air to Ground Integration Course as part of a $300 million congressionally approved funding program. The course develops air to ground integration capabilities with African nation partners.

“Air to Ground integration is the coordinated air attack by fixed wing and rotary aircraft against hostile targets,” said Capt. Matthew Roberts, 4th CTS chief of plans and programs.

The United States is committed to partnering with African countries to address compatible strategic security objectives, added Staff Sgt. Roger Frederick, 4th CTS tactical air party craftsman.

Those objectives include combating destabilizing issues and violent extremist activities which could threaten regional security, Frederick continued.

“A course like this is important for interoperability,” said Roberts. “We need to be able to deploy air power forward across any continent with any of our partners and conduct the same operational and training possibilities downrange.”

The course consisted of a week of classroom studies, a week of simulator training, and a capstone event where airmen controlled aircraft on a range.

U.S. Air Forces Africa acts as a reliable military partner in Africa. They seek to be the security partner of choice by working with partnered security forces based on their operational needs, Frederick said.

“This course actually provides two-way learning,” Frederick said. “I know have a better understanding of how Nigeria employs their air force and it’s opened up perspective on how they integrate. I can take the lessons they’ve taught me and apply it to future scenarios.”

AFAFRICA conducts multilateral and mil-to-mil engagements and security assistance with African air forces in order to build aviation capacities, enhance regional cooperation, and increase interoperability.
