NTSA:
How practical are they in combat situations?

Innovative solutions, never deployed, mainly impractical.

CaptainStephen, or anyone else who knows. Not speculate but knows.
When the NA unveiled the bike squad, they had proper off-road bikes. All the pics I'm seeing lately seem to be commercial bikes not suited for off-road.
What gives?
PIC1: Off-road COIN bikes at unveil;
PIC2: typical pics accompanying bike squad stories.

Costs and availability, if commercial vehicles can do the job, and are more widely available, why not use them.

If commercial motorcycles are incapable of doing the job, they won't be used.

You don't go about spewing ignorance on every topic like a clown.

Nemesis4you:
On the contrary from what i know it is released publically

Obviously not everything is spelled out , hence there are public, restricted , classified versions

Some countries might choose not to release anything to public , but many do

Really, I didn't know that.

It doesn't seem like a document that should be publicly available or explained in a few sentences.

Odunayaw:
There was something I read on our Army's fighting doctrine circa 2016

It's going to be hard to pull out

I don't think that information is available on the internet, or was ever available.

NTSA:
The kdf uses the maneuver warfare concept (attrition through maneuver) as the main operational doctrine however it further categorizes doctrine into joint, operational, and tactical.
It argues that the highest and purest application of the maneuver approach is to pre-empt the enemy, that is, to disarm or neutralize the enemy before the actual fight rather than destroying the enemy by mass by attrition...but I cannot say that it is a distinctly Kenya Army doctrine.....we are still updating /developing our doctrine through the various operational experiences we are getting exposed to.

No offense, but no army's fighting doctrine is available for public consumption or available on the internet. That's a classified document.

Training, Doctrine and Policy are not for public consumption.

NTSA:
What is Nigerias army doctrine if I may ask?

This is a weird question.

How does someone know a country's army doctrine?

That's a policy document that sets how an army fights, how do you think that's going to be a public document?

CAS IN MAIDUGURI, PRAISES EFFORTS OF FRONTLINE TROOPS

The Chief of the Air Staff(CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, was in Maiduguri, Borno State earlier today to assess the progress of the joint operation and commend the efforts of frontline troops. Air Marshal Amao specifically praised the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Major General Chris Musa for his leadership at the frontline which has led to the excellent level of cooperation and synergy among all security agencies operating in the Theatre as well as to the high level successes being recorded daily. According to him, "The Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs are very proud of what you have all been able to achieve and because of your efforts,members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and indeed all Nigerians have every right to be proud." The CAS then stated that he was in Maiduguri to assess the progress of operations being undertaken and to encourage them not to relent but to continue to sustain the fire power against all enemies of the state. He also charged them to maintain the tempo and continue to seize the initiative.

Responding, Major General Chris Musa informed the CAS that due to the increased level of joint operations, several terrorists as well as their key leaders have been eliminated while over 10,000 other terrorists and their families have surrendered in the last 3 months. He also thanked the CAS for his support to the Air Component who, according to him, has been the secret behind the numerous successes recorded.

Air Marshal Amao, who was accompanied by some Branch Chiefs from NAF Headquarters, has since recovered back to Abuja.

Stormtrooper11:
I'm fine as long as we get the best equipments with no PRs. We want results not propaganda.

Only problem is, PR = Results.

You want to build morale, build confidence, demoralize the enemy, fight corruption. Information warfare is a critical part of warfare.

bidexiii:
I so much love the former CAS Sadiq Abubakar

Imagine carrying out such a massive PDM in-country and nobody knew until House members visited, it's really not good PR at all.

KDF third batch arrived in DRC today morning.

It seems the KDF have replaced almost all their G-3 rifles with the Scar-L and some AK-47s.

With seven pylons for external loads, the M346FA is able to operate very effectively as multi-role tactical aircraft, capable of air-to-surface, air-to-air and tactical reconnaissance missions
