 The Nigerian Air Force reiterated its commitment to training and capacity-building of its staff to support other sister security operatives in tackling their security challenges bedeviling the country. The chief of Air Force staff, Air-Machal Oladayo Amal, who was represented by the chief of training and operations advice, Machal Aliyu-Belew, said at the graduation of 151 special forces trained on Advanced Critical Assets Protection Squad 4 of 2023 at the NAF Base Cardinal Northwest Nigeria. The 151 Air Force soldiers underwent intensive rigorous eight-week training on critical asset protection, offensive fight against criminality, boundary terrorism and insurgency. They have been fully equipped now to go and enhance the critical asset protection capabilities of the Nigerian Air Force. So having undergone this training now, we're expecting the grad ones to go to their various units and improve the first protection capabilities of the units wherever they are assigned to. The contemporary security challenges we have in Nigeria now, the Nigerian Air Force has been training tirelessly, both in the air, on the ground, and all this is an effort to meet the contemporary security challenges, so we are always ready, able and willing. If you are embarking on the next stage of your careers with unique skills to meet unique challenges and in a unique time in our national history, you must lead to expectations. These were aimed at equipping them with tactics, techniques and procedures that will enable them to function effectively and adapt to the dynamics of the constantly changing irregular warfare environments. The personnel are now better positioned to operate within the context of a fluid battle space where insurgents and bandits operate to ensure the protection of our bases and air assets. The combination of these metrics has culminated in the graduation of a total of 10 officers and 141 Airmen or Airwomen from the Regiment Training Centre under the Ground Training Command who participated in the course.
