No fewer than 329 military personnel serving under Operation Hadin Kai have been transported in and out of the north-east theatre as part of the chief of Army Staff’s welfare flight initiative.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication,
the latest exercise was conducted on June 16 using a ValueJet aircraft.
Of the personnel moved, 155 were deployed into the theatre
to take up operational duties, while 174 others were flown out after completing
their assignments.
Sources said the exercise was completed without any
operational or logistical setbacks.
The welfare flight programme was introduced to ease troop
rotation and support the well-being of soldiers serving in challenging
operational environments.
Since the initiative began, a total of 33,426 personnel have
reportedly been transported to and from the Operation Hadin Kai theatre.
Military authorities say the programme is a key component of
troop welfare, providing personnel with opportunities to reunite with their
families, rest after deployment, and return to duty refreshed.
Operation Hadin Kai remains the military’s flagship
counter-insurgency operation in the north-east, where troops continue to battle
Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters.
