A Former Commander Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army, Major Gen Victor Ezugwu has said that the war against terrorism will end if the planned establishment of Army Aviation succeeds and night fighting capabilities of the Nigerian Army Infantry Corps are improved.
“We note with great hype the efforts of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja to operationalise the Nigerian Army Avaition Corps. This will not only deal a fatal blow on the adversary Centre of Gravity but also change the tempo of the game in our favour.” “As my colleagues and I bid you all farewell today, we wish to admonish the Infantry Corps to review some of its tactical and operational strategies in the areas of night fighting capabilities, frontline intelligence gathering on enemy activities, basic field crafts training in the areas of aggressive fighting patrols to dominate at least 5 km radius of their locations, Ambushes, listening and observation posts as well as all levels of battle drills.
“Considering the sound pedigree of the current Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Lagbaja whom I consider a very capable hand and a General of high professional standing and character, the Nigerian Army and Infantry Corps will not let the Armed Forces of Nigeria down.” “Our Infantry Corps must therefore not relent or rest on her oars as the entire Nigerian Army depend largely on the Infantry Corps to achieve its Core Mandate and mission.”
