According to him, “we have serious challenges with junior leadership in the North East especially the Platoon and company levels. I am here to see what is happening especially this phase of their training (outdoor training). To see areas that I will advise the college to focus on in the training of the junior commanders specifically.
“I have seen the high standard of training, facilities and equipment used for the training.
