Be prepared for deployment at any time, Amosun tells military

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola
Amosun, today, Saturday charged military
personnel to always be prepared for
deployment at any time as the nation was
passing through trying times.
Amosun gave the charge at the quarterly 10km
"Route March" in Abuja.
Represented at the march by Air Vice Marshal

must be broken.
He, however, said this must be done in a
professional manner.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the
3rd quarter exercise was jointly carried out by
personnel of the Nigerian Navy and Air Force.
"We have troops out there fighting the
insurgents and believing a course and morale
are two very important factors for victory in
battle.

"For the troops out there to know that they
have enough troops at the home front
prepared to support them, it has a way of
enhancing their morale to fight," he said.
Also, the Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Usman
Jubrin, charged the personnel to be ready for
deployment "in support of national security
objective."

Represented by Rear Admiral Johnson
Olutoyin, the Chief of Administration, Jubrin
said the keep fit jogging was one way of
preparing the personnel to combat the
insurgents and engage in other operations.
NAN reports that the 10km walk took off from
the Mogadisu Cantonment at Asokoro, Abuja,
through AYA roundabout to Niger barracks and
back to the Cantonment.
