The COAS who congratulated the participants said the content of the course would equip them with the requisite expertise to plan and execute military operations in the theatres.
“It is highly envisaged that by the end of your course, you all would have joined the elite league of critical thinkers who strive not only to identify challenges bedevilling our dear nation but to proffer possible strategies or solutions that would succinctly mitigate the challenges.”
The COAS further enjoined them to also leverage the jointness in the training for enhanced synergy with other security agencies in the conduct of operations.
He challenged the participants to imbibe all that is gained from the repository of this great institution so as to adequately bring pragmatic solutions to bear when confronted by such problems in the field.
The Commandant Army War College Nigeria Major General BA Alabi said the AWCN was established to bridge the knowledge gap between the tactical and strategic levels of leadership across the Services.
This gap according to him gave rise to the need to produce well-trained, educated and inspired operational-level leaders for the Nigerian Army ( NA)
General Alabi reaffirmed that bridging the identified gap would no doubt positions the NA to respond to the increasing need for integrated political/military response in contemporary and future battlespaces.
