The Director of Public Relations, Naval Captain Michael Addo Larbi, in a statement said GAF is proud of Colonel Amponsah’s achievement.
“His achievement is not only an honour to the Ghana Armed Forces and Ghana but an honour to Africa as a whole.

The College of International Security Affairs (CISA), is one of the four colleges under the National Defence University.

The College is a Department of Defence flagship for education and the building of US partner capacity in combatting Terrorism and Irregular Warfare (IW) at the strategic level.
The other colleges under the National Defence University are the Dwight Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy, the National War College, the Joint Forces Staff College and the College of Information and Cyberspace.
