The training covered areas such as small unit tactics, weapons training, fighting in built-up areas (FIBUA), first aid, and advanced workmanship with participants from all units under the Northern Command and the Ghana Air Force Base in Tamale.
In his closing remarks, the Command Operations Officer, Colonel FWK Agbebo on behalf of the General Officer Commanding Northern Command, Brigadier General M. Essen expressed satisfaction with the level of enthusiasm exhibited by participants during the session.
He said there has been an improvement in the course since its inception.
"I strongly believe that this particular training has achieved the aim of enhancing your capacity to mitigate the threats of violent extremism".
