Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>As Kenya’s defence system continues to grow stronger, the training of its recruits also grows more intense.<\/p>\n

A video shared by NTV on Tuesday, May 25, showed the grueling training session Kenya Navy officers undergo before being sent behind enemy lines.<\/p>\n

In the clip, the navy chopper is seen airlifting a number of trainees and hovering around the ocean. Through the backdoor, the trainees are seen jumping legs-first into the ocean.<\/p>\n

The training, which was aimed at Combat Water Survival, was carried out at the Nyali public beach.<\/p>\n

Close look at the training, the trainees were seen jumping into the ocean while holding their hands behind their backs before getting into the ocean.<\/p>\n

According to DePaul College of Liberal Arts, the purpose of the Combat Water Survival Test is to both test Cadets and to build their confidence and water survival skills.<\/p>\n

In most trainings, the trainees are usually expected to navigate a 3-meter drop into water sometimes with blindfolds on and carrying a riffle.<\/p>\n

Other tests centers around swimming for 15 meters in uniform and executing submerged equipment removal techniques. They are expected to cover the distance in around ten minutes without taking a pause.<\/p>\n

In the Kenya Navy training, they swam all the way to the shore where they were seen jogging along. A medical team was hovering around in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n

The navy was founded after independence with the help of the British government and was to be set up in the then Royal Naval Armament.<\/p>\n

The Kenya Navy has its headquarters in Mombasa with bases at Mtongwe, Shimoni, Msambweni, Malindi and Kilifi.<\/p>\n

The navy\u2019s role is to protect the nation from external threat from the sea, protect the state\u2019s territorial waters as well as provide support to other security agencies.<\/p>\n
