Naija COIN

Nigerian army HQ announced its increasing Special Forces numbers to 10,000 SF men ! Biggest SF in the world? The Nigerian SF have a mix of Nigerian, American, British, Bellorussian, and Israeli Special Forces training combined. People say 10,000 SF is too much for Nigeria alone, arguing that they are already many and near the 5,000 men mark, see their photos al over the internet, very many in reality, they are all over North East and their presence and numbers is one of the reasons Boko Haram has not won any battle in a whole year. Keep the nice photos coming, let the world see African special forces in real life war zone.

Henry240:
The Eagle Mobile Central Command Post is a vehicle
mounted with various Information Communication and
Technology equipment. This on board equipment gives the
Theatre Commander the opportunity to have first hand
information of the battle space. From the vehicle the
commander has access to both ground troops and air assets
within the battle space.


The Eagle Mobile Central Command Post was borne out of
the necessity to further support the war against terrorism
and insurgency in the country. As earlier mentioned, it is a
mobile Central Command Post that is designed to link up
with the troops in the field, as well as the command
hierarchy.




With this, the President, Commander-in-Chief, Minister of
Defence, Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs can
have real time contact with the troops in the field. Added to
this, the Eagle Mobile Central Command Post affords close
monitoring of the activities of the troops and passage of real
time information from strategic level to operational and
tactical levels.


Furthermore, the platform affords the Chief of Air Staff on
the move to have a look at the performance of surveillance
or reconnaissance aircrafts.

The project is designed as constructed by Major General C T
Olukoju of the Nigerian Army.

A South African posted here last month that only their country has modern mobile C2 capability in Africa, and that all the other AU countries who came to AMANI 2015 will learn how to use a C2 mobile command post.

I asked him if he knows all the equipment that other African armies have, or is he the chief of army staff for all African countries?

I think the behaviour and mindset of South Africans is one of the reasons Africa will find it difficult to unite and work together. Its a fact, like it or not, EU and NATO countries dont have that kind of 'WE ARE CITY, THE REST OF YOU ARE JUNGLE' attitude.

The South Africans should see this and learn not to assume things about other African military forces. Talking anyhow as if only them even have rifle and bullets, other AU countries'armies fight with bow and arrows in 2016.

When i said the Nigerian contingent did not learn anything from Amani Africa II it did not previously know, the South-Africans were all up in arms.


This is further evidence.

10,000 SF is an appropriate number. The use of highly mobile, highly trained men has proven to be very effective. They simply have to move on to the next objective while the bulk of the Infantry force holds the ground.


Our SF and SOF units have performed very well in this campaign.

Would take Nigeria more than 7 years to have such numbers.

Unless by SF you refer to SOF units not men in the class of the UK SAS, Green berets etc

Wonder why you guys aren't criticizing the composition of your regular battalions.

I actually mean SOF, SF members at 1000 across the 3 armed services is more than sufficient.

1. According to the military definition of C2, an officer + map + radio = C2

2. Its a statement of fact with regards to SSA (in the military sense)

3. Nigeria simply does not poses an intergrated data-link or the ability to wage net-centric warfare - you lack a battle-feild management system, BLUEFOR trackers or advanced information sharing networks. At best Nigeria posses's node-to-node capabilities.

The simple fact of the matter, is that the SANDF posses's the most advanced net-centric warfare capabilities in SSA. Again, some nations may have node-to-node set-ups, but no one else has our level of fusion or integration.

Accept facts and deal with life, your hubris and your ego will be your downfall.

That the Nigerian contingent was in South-Africa to waste their time and tax payer money isn't in doubt. The Nigerian Navy operates a comprehensive Regional Maritime management System. The Army operates an advanced C2 system, technology is widely and comprehensively deployed in the Nigerian military.


Our views are completely clear.

Nonsense.......... That Nigeria even participated is a testament of the fact that we have always been at the fore-front of African cooperation and liberation. That Nigeria did not learn anything new is a statement of a fact.

SF and SOF mean the same thing all over the world apart from the USA where it is used to mean different types of commandos in different US armed forces. Special Forces and Special Operarion Forces mean the same thing in other countries around the world and SF is the universal language used for these commandos.

What I think the world should be redefinig is SF trained for conventional warfare and SF trained for CT-COIN.

1. Regional maritime surveilance system, not managment

2. What C2 system? Can you name it or its components?

Again, all you have is node-to-node. Not systems and certainly no battlefeild managment system.

Your arrogance is disgusting.

Final point: do you use Chaka? No? Then you learnt something

And lets not even mention doctrine

SF and SOF do not mean the same thing, never have and never will.

All SF by definition are trained for COiN since the role of SF is to train and lead insurgencies and conduct irregular operations behind enemy lines

SOF has become propular because of terrorism and COIN and they specialize in speacial operations within the confines of traditional warfare - HVT grabs, exploitation of tactical information etc

According to your envious and errornous ranting , the above explained Eagle system that links and manages real time data and visuals of an entire battle space the size of Scotland to a single vehicle command and control centre for coordinating a 30,000 man fully mechanized army plus a 100 aircraft air force is not a net-centric warfare system ?
