The Nigeria army has commenced their deployment in Mali with arrival of
the first batch of a projected 1200 strong force landed in mali on board
the Lockhead C130 military transport plane from Kaduna. The Nigeria
army kitted in desert fatigue, blast helmet, our Made-in-Nigeria
DICON-Marom Dolphin flak jackets – product of Israeli-Nigerian military
cooperation. would be joined by the tavor rile equiped airforce Quick
Response Force special forces commandos who took off from Port Harcourt,
aboard the G222 medium transport plane. Our troops would be supported
by the alpha jet and F7. I have to say that I have been truly impressed
by the professional way the ministry of defense have handled the
deployment of our troops. That we are handling the transportation of
troops and materials goes show the state of our airlifting capability.
