Sometimes a tactical retreat is required in arguments such as these.

Tactical retreat is okay when there is no verifiable fact.

lionel4power:
SF =/= SOF.

.
SOF is more like a special force unit within a special force unit.

.
for Example, a SF unit could be sent to abduct a HVT in a Taliban stronghold but a SOF would infiltrate, associate and gather intel about the HVT.


.
NOTE THE '' SPECIAL OPERATIONS '' IN SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCE.

What is this?

Your pidgin is strong. Eleyi le gidigan.

SOF does not exist. As the term SOF is the exact same thing as SF.
The US uses SOF to distinguish between army SF and those under special operations command.

Apart from that, In an international scenario SF is SOF. they're just different terms.

Omo now when I get any news even from "reliable" sources I still vet them for factuality and accuracy.

Bloggers I don't trust...case closed

Exactly and some people here will digest any information.

The new unit, 205 Combat Search and Rescue Group (CSARG), comes under the Special Operations Command.

Units operating under a military Special Operations Command will have their boots called special operations forces. These guys are obviously SF guys.

NAF ESTABLISHES COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE UNIT IN PLATEAU STATE

As part of the renewed commitment to evolve robust security architecture capable of rapid employment in all spectra of warfare, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today hit the ground running for the establishment of a new specialised unit in Kerang, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State. The new unit, 205 Combat Search and Rescue Group (CSARG), comes under the Special Operations Command. It is intended to shorten NAF’s response time and improve search and rescue efforts of troops in crisis areas within the country. “The new unit is one of the nine specialised units under SOC set up to address the current security challenges facing our nation”, said the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar. He disclosed that 205 CSARG will incorporate hospital and schools for the benefit of NAF personnel, their dependents and civilian population within the area. Air Mshl Abubakar reiterated the commitment of the NAF to protect lives and property in the State in partnership with other security agencies.
Speaking as the Special Guest of Honour at the ground breaking ceremony, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Rt Hon Simon Bako Lalong commended the NAF for its role in combating insurgency and terrorism in the country; adding that the occasion is one of the many remarkable strides by the Nigerian Air Force in repositioning itself into a professional and disciplined force. Gov Lalong described the event as “a landmark achievement by the NAF that will forever remain indelible in the hearts of Nigerians and most especially the good people of Plateau State”.

Bloggers. Funny set of humans.

If you don't listen to news, you're uninformed. If you listen to news, you're misinformed.

Odunayaw:

vickylincon:

Nope. They're all classified as Nigerian military.

unclezuma:
Bless you.

Amen bro and you too. Thanks.

They are expert generalist.
They find opportunities where people complain.
They pay attention to little things.
They love team.
Most successful entrepreneurs are investors and since the topic says what they have in common, I'll say they love tractions

Patchesagain:
but Special Operations Forces are certainly not Special Forces.

In an international context there is no semantic difference between those two phrases. SOF is used to distinguish between Special forces units or those under USSOCOM.

You can't conclude just like that as it varies by nation.

eezeribe:
The Nigeria army is now battling both internal and external Agression,while the police force is busy Harassing Drivers on the Highways.

Very funny people didn't notice the contribution of the Nigerian Air Force and most especially men of the Nigerian Navy in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria.

MikeCZA:
There is SF and SOF.

The usage of SF units in the middle east doesn't necessarily define how they should be deployed.

Your SF are still learning they will vehicles like the Hornet in the future.

Ops are intelligence driven if armour is required then SF people will bring armoured vehicles or whatever they need to get the job done.

South Africa is one of the first countries to deploy the so called "MRAPS" by Americans. If these vehicles were good for the SF's airborne, raiding, reccon etc needs don't you think SASFB would have picked 'MRAPS' for the roles the Hornet is utilised for?

Also remember your forces are fighting inside Nigeria within your boarders.

SOF, SF.


Special Operations Forces (SOF) is a generic term that you can use to refer to any and all special operations units. Special Forces is the title of a very specific unit, and is not a generic term for other units.

NNSBS is a special operation unit and can be categorized as as SOF.

It still operates under the name umbrella called Special Forces. It's a Nigerian special force team.

Yes, because Russia can protect itself against a US nuclear assault.
You are an illiterate.

US will successfully launch a nuclear attack on Russia but the truth is both countries won't exist in few hours later as both countries will be gone.

Sweetnik22:
So do u patronize aba made products?

Aba is Nigerian made. The Nigerian Army ordered for 50,000 Aba made boots.

Sweetnik22:
I know that some Nigerians can not support this because is an Aba made buh if its china, taiwan etc they'll patronize it immediately even if it's fake

We make tactical and ballistic vests already. That up there is a tactical vest.

The ones used by men of the Nigerian Navy SBS in the attached pictures is being produced by DICON.

Thanks unclezuma for the mention.

Intellect20:

Afonjas...it's natural in them. God created them like that!

Watch and see...they will start posting pictures of vests from America or Russia with long epistles just to deviate this commendable work from our gifted brothers in Aba. [/s]

DICON Nigerian made.
Next time don't type shit!

nemesis2u:
As for regular friendly troops getting into a position to open fire on the 'terrorist' SF men , then i would say that the SF men r not worth their salt , if they allow themselves to be caught up in such a situation.

SF men r trained to remain incognito from everybody including their own force plus there r ways to handle unavoidable blue on blue without breaking the subterfuge.

i will stop here , i dont think it would be wise to share more........
.

My concern was regular troops bit you've cleared it out.

Thanks.

Bad journalism. Biggest jet in Nigeria is Eagle 001. Uses call sign NGR1 whenever the president is onboard.

Nigerdeltaboi:
this is a nice idea for north east ,get guys who are familiar with the terrain, chew gworo , dress and fight like terrorists with license to roam deep into the Sahara.

This will lead to blue on blue fire alot of times.

If you see the president of a nation sag/wearing torn jeans, what would your conclusion be?
Whats the motive behind sagging/wearing torn jeans? whats the motive behind nudity?
If you are sincere xtian, consider the above?

What a perfect answer. May God keep increasing you in wisdom.

Odunayaw what's your take on this?


To me, the British haven't had a good record of conducting hostage operations in Africa. Their last in Nigeria led to the death of the two hostages involved.

Your stereotype is perfectly wrong.

With steel so expensive these days, I am not very sure of the current costs now.

Thank you for the reply.
Can you give a rough estimate range?

Thank You.
