He said the drill was designed to test the cadet\u2019s leadership skills, physical fitness, as well as command and control abilities, among other military competencies, adding that, the exercise is an important military training activity used in ascertaining the preparedness of Army cadets for commissioning as Officers into the Nigerian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhases of the exercise that would take place in Plateau State include Map Reading Exercise at Heipang and Adventure Training at the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, Shere Hills, Jos, from 8 \u2013 14 January 2022.\u201d He said<\/p>\n

He added that the final outdoor Field Training Exercise for Army Cadets of Short Service Course 47, nicknamed Exercise CAMP HIGHLAND, in Plateau and Kaduna States, is slated for 8 \u2013 29 January 2022.<\/p>\n

According to him, communities living around Heipang and Shere Hills, Jos in Plateau State would observe a mass movement of military personnel, vehicles and equipment in the general area from 8-15 January 2022.<\/p>\n

Similarly, residents of Katul Crossing \u2013 Fadan Kamanta axis in Zagon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State will observe the same tactical drills involving firing \/simulation of small arms and artillery fire from 15 -19 January 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents in the general areas mentioned above are therefore advised not to panic but to go about their normal daily routine activities without fear.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are, however, advised to report any breach of security to the nearest authorities. \u201d He said<\/p>\n

He said locals around Aninkwa, in neighbouring communities, are advised to stay away from the live firing area during the period of the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201d On our part, all necessary safety measures and arrangements have been put in place to ensure safety in the exercise areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to appeal for cooperation from the local communities directly affected by the Exercise and Nigerians as a whole as we train future military leaders for our Armed Forces.\u201d The statement said<\/p>\n
