1. Chairman I have read your tweets where you complain about the chain of command. I am wondering what your complaint is about. The world over countries military will have a joint chief of staffs (in our case defense staff) with one chief. Then each service is represented
2. by the highest ranking. They are all appointed by the @NGRPresident following @NGRSenate confirmation. Service chiefs do not have total operational command either individually or collectively, as the chain of command runs all the way from President down to
3. commanders of combatant commands; divisions/brigades/battalions/units/FOBs etc. Every single soldier has a supervisor who he reports to as you are not allowed to jump the chain of command. So what reforms are your senior military men recommending? That the command & control
4. structure be reorganized to suit them? You claim about promotions is far fetched sir. Soldiers are enlisted/recruited in batches. For Commissioned officers; you go through the NDA as cadets or civilian graduates get in via short service. Either becomes
commissioned
commissioned
5. officers after completion of their training in the academy. They must serve at least three years on active duty following graduation before consideration for promotion. Time in Grade & Time in Service is used in determining when to move to the next rank. This simply means
6. 'an officer must spend a given amount of time in each grade prior to advancement to the next. When you have completed such stipulated time, certain tests & further training is done to qualify you for the next rank. So if you and I are batched into service at the same time,
7. it means we will both be due for promotion at THE SAME TIME. I can't jump you unless you fail whatever tests/trainings to get to the next level.Another method of promotion is when a soldier has exceptional achievement in service this could be through personal or team
8. assignments especially during combat operations. Your military friends can complain as its expected from every human but the fact remains "soja go, soja come, barrack remain where e dey". In other words military remains what it is, every soldier should WAIT FOR HIS/HER TIME.
