The 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, Lagos, on Friday said it had adopted strategic planning operations to counter security challenges in the country.
The General Officer Commanding the Division, Maj.-Gen. Babatunde Oyefolu, announced the strategy during the closing of the Operation Planning Cadre training, which started on March 5 in Lagos.
“This is important in view of the current security challenges in our environment.
“And based on the style the enemies are using to approach us now, we have to adopt strategic planning operations to counter them.
“It is important for us at all levels to know how to plan operations in order to achieve the end result, which is to win the battle,’’ Oyefolu said.
Assessing the officers, who attended the one week training, the GOC commended their level of seriousness and participation during the sessions.
He said that the participants should go back to their respective units and teach others what they have learnt.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 100 officers were trained on operation planning cadre to enhance their warfare capabilities.
The training was aimed at improving the planning capability of commanders and staff officers within the division’s area of responsibility.
It focused on manoeuvrable approach to warfare, estimation process and contemporary operations within Nigeria.
