President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja directed the central
command of the military to relocate to Maiduguri, Borno, to intensify
the fight against Boko Haram insurgency.
Buhari, who gave the
directive in his address after his inauguration, said it was impossible
to achieve victory against the insurgents if the command continued to
operate from Abuja.
He said that the command center would relocate and remain in Maiduguri until the insurgents were subdued.
No where in the History of world military History will the military
central command be located right in the combat zone it is the height of
unprofessional-ism which is about to force me to revisit the issue of
Buhari certificate scandal. let us use the United state of America model
as a case study .
Military Central command are non combatants they are not infantry units but expertise from various field of course
Structure
Central
Command headquarters staff directorates include personnel,
intelligence, operations, logistics, plans & policy, information
systems, training & exercises, and resources, and other functions.
The intelligence section is known as Joint Intelligence Center, Central
Command, or JICCENT, which serves as a Joint Intelligence Center for the
co-ordination of intelligence. Under the intelligence directorate,
there are several divisions
In the United State the Central
Military Command directs four "service component commands" and one
subordinate unified command and no fighting units directly subordinate
to it:
The United States Army Central (USARCENT), and the United
States Air Forces Central Command (USAFCENT), both headquartered at Shaw
Air Force Base in South Carolina, the U.S. Marine Forces Central
Command (USMARCENT), headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida
and the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (USNAVCENT), headquartered at
Naval Support Activity Bahrain in the Kingdom of Bahrain. MacDill Air
Force Base also hosts a Sub-unified command called the Special
Operations Command Central (USSOCCENT).
In 1983, U.S. Military
Central Command was established to succeed the Rapid Deployment Joint
Task Force, formed at MacDill AFB, Florida on 1 March 1980, to handle US
national security interests in Southwest Asia, Central Asia and the
Persian G
The USA Central Military Command main headquarters is
located at MacDill Air Force Base, in Tampa, Florida. A forward
headquarters was established in 2002 at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha, Qatar,
which in 2009 transitioned to a forward headquarters at Al Udeid Air
Base in Qatar to serve American strategic interests interest in the
following countries as the Area of Responsibilty.

Tactically
its a great Blunder for Mr Buhari to relocated the Military Central
command right into sambisa forest when he knew quite well that these
people are non combatants they are not infantry soldiers and their area
of responsibilty covers a wider area than just boko haram. they monitor ,
deploy and protect both Nigeria air land and water from both internal
and external aggression.
Relocating Nigeria military Central
Command to frontline war zone is the most senseless decision any
president have ever taken and such action is capable of endangering
Nigeria external security an outside force may invade the nation of
Nigeria in time like these..
This wrong decision calls for us to
revisit Buhari certificate scandal and how he come about his title of
Major General when he is incapable of simple kindergarten Military
Decision
