The Gambia Armed Forces (GAF) welcomes home Captain John Jatta and Captain Abdoulie Secka who recently returned from an 11-month military training course in the People’s Republic of China.
The two officers underwent the Junior Infantry Commanding Officers’ Course at the prestigious Chinese Army Infantry College in Shijiazhuang and the Armoured Elementary (Junior) Command Programme at the Chinese Army Academy of Armoured Forces in Bengbu respectively.
During the period, Captain Jatta learnt the Basic Chinese language in addition to infantry modules such as Small Arms, Military Topography, Arms Techniques and Tactical Employment, Element of Combat readiness, Squad and Team Tactics, Company and Platoon Tactics, amongst others.
On the other hand, Captain Secka, an armoured trained Officer studied Elementary Chinese together with modules such as, Knowledge of Service and Arms, Armoured Forces Commanding Information System, Tank Weapon Development, Tank Communication, driving and firing, Armoured Elementary Tactics amongst others.
It might be instructive to state that the two Officers who were rated Qualified in their various areas of study graduated with their heads high. The Gambia Armed Forces High Command congratulates and welcomes them home after such an outstanding performance.
This training, in addition to many others, underscores the importance the High Command attaches to the capacity building, welfare and development of its personnel in line with the Security Sector Reforms.
