Nigerian Army Host Workshop on Super Camp
The Army Headquarters Department of Training and Operations
(DATOPS), today Thursday 25 July 2019, held its maiden workshop for
Commanders, Commanding Officers and Staff Officers of Operation
LAFIYA DOLE, on the concept of “Super Camp” held at Headquarters 25
Task Force Brigade (Super Camp 2) Damboa, Borno state.
Declaring the workshop open, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS),
Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, represented by the Chief
of Training and Operations (Army), Major General Enobong Udoh,
charged the participants to take the workshop seriously, as the
concept of the Super Camp is a force multiplier that allows for
concentration of manpower and resources. He further commended the
participants for their sacrifices to the country and for being good
ambassadors of the Nigerian Army.
Similarly, while making his welcome address, the Theatre
Commander, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Major General Benson Akinroluyo,
appreciated the COAS for the new Super Camp concept, which he said
will serve as launching pad for mobile offensive operations in
containing and denying the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs)/ criminals
freedom of action in identified areas across the theatre”.
Major General Benson Akinroluyo, also stated that, the super
camps would further boost force protection of troops while on
camps, as well as enable them to project force through long
distance patrols and ambushes to dominate their areas of
operation.
Lectures were delivered by the Director Logistics Planning, Army
Headquarters, Brigadier General Martins Waboke, on the topic:
“Administration and Logistics Support of Nigerian Army Super Camp”
and the Assistant Director Operations, DATOPS, Lieutenant Colonel I
Waziri, who made a presentation on the lecture entitled
“Understanding the Concept and Establishments of Nigerian Army
Super Camps”.
The workshop was quite interactive and the participants were
also conducted on a guided tour of super camp Damboa, which later
dovetailed into professional group discussion.
