The Ghana Armed Forces has reiterated its commitment to defend the country from any form of aggression both internal and external.

Speaking to the media during this year’s land combat power demonstration at the Bundase Training Camp, the General Officer Commander of the Southern Command of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), Brigadier General Sampson Adeti, expressed concerns about the activities of terrorists groups in the West African sub region and the possibility of a spillover.

He was even more concerned about the country's unguarded entry points and the possibility they could be exploited by elements within the Boko Haram terrorist groups.

That notwithstanding, Brigadier General Sampson Adeti was unequivocal the forces are loyal and ready to defend the country.

“We reassure the nation of the army’s operational posture, preparedness and readiness to defend and protect the country from any aggression, be it internal and or external.”

"All over the world, personnel of the army are the decisive component of land warfare both in joint and multi-nationals operations.

“The army and the versatility of land combat power remains the ultimate means of imposing a nation’s will and achieving a lasting outcome.”

Touching on the importance of the annual land combat demonstration, the commanding officer said it would sharpen the skills of participants in the application of their tactics, techniques and procedures.

The demonstration which attracted the support from Ghana Navy and Ghana Air Forces, would equip the military personnel with the capabilities of the GAF in its joint combat operations.

About 500 all ranks personnel participated in the battle ground simulation with various combat manouvres by the Infantry Platoon, Infantry Company, Infantry Battalion as well two Air Force fighter jets, among others.

The event was attended by Nii Laryea Afotey-Agbo, Greater Accra Regional Minister and Mr Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, Deputy Minister of Defence who commended the military for its dedication to keep the country safe.
