The Nigerian Army has successfully trained no fewer than 604 Special Forces in the eighth session of its flagship programme, Exercise Restore Hope, aimed at enhancing national security.
The six-month specialist training, which took place at the Nigerian Army Military Training Centre in Kachia, Kaduna State, covered both kinetic and non-kinetic aspects of modern warfare.
It was designed to prepare the troops to confront contemporary security challenges across the country.
Speaking at the graduation on Tuesday, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, commended the troops for their discipline and commitment throughout the training period.
Represented by the General Officer Commanding 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Mayirenso Saraso, the COAS noted that the soldiers had acquired critical combat skills such as marksmanship, weapon handling, and precision targeting.
He further explained that the soldiers were carefully selected from various units and formations of the Nigerian Army and would soon be deployed to strategic locations to boost operational efficiency in active theatres of operation.
“The special forces demonstrated exceptional capabilities throughout the training, particularly in areas of cooperation, tactical manoeuvring, and concentrated firepower,” Oluyede said.
He also described Exercise Restore Hope as a continuous and biannual training initiative embedded in the Army’s operational calendar, specifically tailored to equip personnel with advanced combat skills.
“The special forces have undergone an upgraded training regimen beyond the basic soldier training, equipping them with mission-oriented skills necessary for critical assignments,” he added.
Oluyede emphasised that the newly graduated special forces would significantly enhance the fighting strength of already deployed troops, leading to better operational outcomes in various conflict zones.
“The training is crucial in improving the Army’s overall operational effectiveness and supporting ongoing efforts to strengthen national security,” he concluded.
