Twelve Soldiers U.S. Army Soldiers share tactics and training with a little over 200 Nigerian Army Soldiers from 26th Infantry Battalion in a remote military compound four hours north of the capital in Jaji. The seven- week training includes reacting to an IED, react to an ambush, securing an objective, operations planning, etc. The training's significance cannot be underestimated. These Nigerian Soldiers may eventually use these tactics when forward-deployed to fight against the violent terrorist organization, Boko Haram. Nigerian Advanced infantry training has significant implications outside of on-the-ground tactical maneuvers. This bilateral military-to-military training carries diplomatic weight showcasing the U.S.'s commitment to its African partners and Nigeria's commitment to countering violent extremist organizations.

Nigerian troops with the support of the Multinational Joint Task Force have invaded four Boko Haram strongholds in the North East.

The accomplishment was revealed few hours after the announcement of new Service Chiefs approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Operation, led by Brigadier General Waidi Shaibu, Brigade Commander of 21 Special Armoured Brigade, stormed and killed several Boko Haram fighters in Maiyanki, Darulsallam, Bula kurege and Izza.

A top military source told PRNigeria that the camps served as training grounds for the militants fighters and stationed standby forces in preparation for ambush attacks on nearby troops positions.

The source said a number of the terrorist unit commanders and high value fighters were eliminated, while many more were seriously injured in the  ground and aerial strike operation in the insurgents’ enclaves.

Dozens of equipment have been captured from the terrorists, while foodstuffs, Improvised Explosive Devices making materials and clothings were destroyed.

The source added: “We have cleared Maiyanki, Darulsallam, Bula kurege and have now taken over Izza, all former Bolo Haram  strong points.

“Our troops have been repeatedly attacked in harbour areas, throughout the night, but all were repelled, while inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy.

“The situation is tough but we are winning.

“Sadly, a Soldier paid the supreme sacrifice and three were injured.

“We brought them out.

“Our resolve and commitment is unshaken.”

Some of the Boko Haram camps were destroyed when the new Chief of Army Staff, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru, was the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole in 2017.

During his brief tenure as Theatre Commander, Nigerian troops eliminated five top Boko Haram Commanders and over 70 fighters.

Meanwhile, through non-kinetic, coordinated media and information operations, 72 Boko Haram members surrendered to the military.
