The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has graduated 111 personnel from Special Forces Course 13/2026, further boosting its capacity to tackle terrorism, banditry, insurgency, and other security threats across the country.
The graduation ceremony took place at the Regiment Training Centre Annex (RTCA) in Bauchi, where the newly trained operators completed an intensive programme designed to equip them with advanced combat skills, tactical expertise, and the resilience required for high-risk special operations.
Representing the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, the Chief of Training, Air Vice Marshal AY Dari, congratulated the graduates and urged them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, discipline, and courage in the service of the nation.
The ceremony featured tactical demonstrations, including obstacle-crossing drills, commando self-defence techniques, and air assault operations, showcasing the graduates’ readiness for complex military missions.
NAF said the development reflects its continued investment in human capacity development and operational excellence as it works alongside other security agencies to safeguard Nigeria’s sovereignty and combat emerging security threats.
