The Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, has flagged off Exercises GOLDEN DAWN, ENDURING PEACE and STILL WATER in the country.
The COAS symbolically flagged-off all exercises at the venue of Exercise GOLDEN DAWN, Ovie-Emene, Enugu East Local Government Area of Enugu State, on Monday.
These Field Training Exercises (FTEs) are routines conducted yearly by the Nigerian Army and designed to effectively check all forms of criminality and allow for free movement of persons during the Yuletide.
The FTEs will equally provide a platform to sharpen the skills of participating troops on the conduct of Internal Security Operations (ISOs).
The exercises will run concurrently in Two, 81 and 82 Divisions Areas of Responsibilities (AOR) in the South West, South East and South South regions, respectively.
