The General Officer Commanding and Commander of Operation Safe Haven, Major General Abdulsalami Bagudu Ibrahim at the Maxwell Khobe Cantonment Jos hosted all the Heads of Training command in Nigeria for a 5 day “Division Training Officers Training Week” With the theme “Enhancing Training at Division Level for Better Operational Performance in a Joint Environment”.
In his welcome address, the GOC welcomed all the participants and admonished them to take this training seriously, as what they will learn here will add to what they already know and do their various formations and units. He further stated that training must be done in formations and units because that is where all of our young officers and soldiers build their capacity. Therefore, this training for Training officers is coming at the right time.
He believes that this training will provide the opportunity for the training officers to brainstorm, discuss and exchange ideas on how they will conduct training in their various foundations and units. Knowing that training in formations is based on environment and threats.
The special guest of honour at the event is The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Farooq Yahaya CFR, who was ably represented by Major General Itsu Ndaji, Deputy Chief of Training, Department of Training Army headquarters.
Without a doubt, Training at the division level is important for several reasons. First, it ensures that all members of the division have the skills and knowledge necessary to perform their tasks effectively. This includes both individual and collective training, as well as training on specific equipment and systems.
Second, division-level training helps to ensure that the division can operate effectively as a cohesive unit. This includes training on communication and coordination, as well as training on the division’s tactics and procedures.
Third, division-level training allows for the identification and correction of any deficiencies within the division. This can include identifying issues with equipment or systems, as well as personnel issues.
Fourth, division-level training also helps to maintain readiness and ensures that the division is prepared to respond to any potential threats or challenges.
Overall, enhancing training at the division level is critical for improving operational performance and ensuring that the division can effectively accomplish its mission.
