<\/a>\u201c\u2026Modern threats cannot be fought by one country, it is a concerted effort, Major Oppong-Peprah, Chief of Army Staff, told the soldiers.<\/p>\n

The Army Chief commended the Ghana Airforce for assisting them. He charged the troops to be \u201cambassadors of Peace\u201d during their training in Morocco.<\/p>\n

On his part, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Frank Hanson, stated how the Airforce had previously supported the Army on several occasions with aircraft and will continue to do so with their operations<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the first time. The Airforce have escorted our forces to South Sudan\u2026we have done it in several parts of West Africa under ECOMOG and Mali and this is no different\u201d. He explained.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Shortly after, the troops were led in a single file to board the aircraft.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian soldiers are expected to train alongside their American, Moroccan, Senegalese and Tunisian counterparts.<\/p>\n
