BRITISH MILITARY ADVISORY TRAINING TEAM TRAINS ANOTHER SET OF NIGERIAN AIR FORCE REGIMENT PERSONNEL
The
collaboration between the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and British Military
Advisory Training Team (BMATT) has produced another batch of trained
NAF Regiment personnel. The graduands comprise 5 officers and 200 airmen
who graduated recently from the Regiment Training Centre (RTC), Kaduna,
having successfully undergone the 5-month Basic Regiment Courses for
officers and airmen respectively. The objective of the basic courses is
to impart the participants with basic regiment skills and knowledge to
enable them meet the complex demands of emerging security challenges.
BMATT handled the airfield defence and force protection aspects of the
training that lasted for 6 weeks. Among the graduands are additional 35
members of Defence Headquarters Special Forces trained in rappelling to
impart in them the basic insertion/extraction skills for special
operations.
So
far, RTC has trained a total of 518 officers and men since
establishment on 20 January 2016. Earlier in the year, the RTC in
collaboration with BMATT, had graduated two batches of students totaling
313 including NAF officers, airmen and airwomen as well as personnel
from the Nigerian Navy and Defence Headquarters. The new graduands are
expected to be deployed to the North East to boost the current strength
of personnel involved in the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency.
