NIGERIAN AIR FORCE BEGINS DE-INDUCTION OF RETURNING SPECIAL FORCES

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Medical Services Branch has commenced a 2-week de-induction programme for NAF Special Forces returning from combat in the North East. The de-induction programme, which is at the instance of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, is the first of its kind in the history of the NAF. It is aimed at ensuring the physical and mental well being of combatants before they are reunited with their families and re-integrated into the larger society. The programme is also to ensure that personnel with post-traumatic stress disorder such as anxiety, nightmare and psychological depression are adequately treated. While serving in the North East, some of the personnel could have developed physical and mental stresses as well as direct physical/combat injuries, the effects of which could last for a long period well after leaving the combat zone and hence, the need for the programme.
Declaring the programme open at 351 Medical Centre, Minna, the Chief of Medical Services (CMS), Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Saleh Shinkafi, stated that a team of various health professionals such as psychiatrists, physicians, clinical psychologists, counsellors and social workers has been constituted to conduct the de-induction programme. According to the CMS, the NAF would take full responsibility for anyone found to have any medical problem now or in the future while there would also be close monitoring of their health for a few months after the programme. While commending the returning personnel for their commitment, dedication to duties and sacrifices made in the fight against insurgency, AVM Shinkafi further stated that the re-integration process is part of the efforts of the current NAF administration to add value to the lives of the personnel.

Bidexiii any idea where these airmen are ?

Not so sure but they should be in the N.E or probably instructors by now. Any idea of year the picture was taken.

Nice picture anyway.

It seems you guys here are cultivating a culture of militarism. Although I still don't get the fascination with "military uniforms" and the ability to hold rifles which you keep boasting with the photos you are sharing. If what you like is military then you should rather be discussing military strategy and military history. this your thing just looks incredibly silly.

Sure it looks silly to you .

You can always look for order interesting thread of ur choice. Who gives a Bleep about ur opinion

Is it incomprehensible to believe that they just bolted like Usain.

We may not wish to consider this option our national pride, etc. The NA lacks infrastructure and fit for purpose equipment however, Boko are not over equipped or better equipped than the NA. Highly motivated, ready willing and wanting to die a resounding big YES.

They have predominantly light arms, certainly not any artillery. A smattering of unstabilised HMG'S on the back of pick ups, highly inaccurate unless at close range. But have very good terror effect particularly if you are not trained and disciplined you might run in fear.

Was with some marines sorry British last month and it was possible to use a 50 cal. stabilised with optic sights to snipe and hit a bottle at 1000 metres. Precision weaponry always wins more effective and less wastage.

Perhaps let our infantrymen be thought on how to deal with ambush scenario's . since its The BH hit and run tactics that is being used by these sect's.

Report on the reliability of the Chinese CS/VP3 from Kenyan armed forces battling Al shabab, it is not inspiring, see link below.

There are some political undertones that may ☁ objectivity when you watch the video. However knowing the Chinese penchant for corruption and substandard product I am concerned.

In reality would rather buy a used or refurbished MRAP from Europe, the USA or Russia than a brand new one from China but that's my prejudiced view. Just like I would rather have a 5/7 year old German Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, etc any day. Than any Chinese Changan, Tianjin car, etc. I will carry that same bias without apology for military procurement, with regards to Chinese weaponry.

Mate the Chinese MRAP is not that bad though we've posted pictures of some that are being destroyed beyond repair but I'll still give them a pass mark.

Go to YouTube and see western and Europe MRAP being cooked beyond recognition. Those MRAP where being purchased for the Kenya police and the magnitude of that IED has to be enormous for it to render MRAP into pieces.

why did they go for T90S they could have have gone for T90AM version

T90S in Indian service in deserts have been struggling with breakdown of electronics components in intense heat.

Indians had to include a locally developed powerful milspec AC within the congested interior. it took a lot of effort and money

Hmmmmmmm......

Its still undergoing trial missions they could be a change if the T-90s fails and go for other variants. its going to be a bogus delivery 400-500 unit.
