Originally published by Ministry of Defence – Kenya — Read the original article →
Professional military training is essential in developing officers who can adapt, lead and make sound decisions in increasingly complex operational environments. In line with this commitment, General Service Officer (GSO) Cadets at the Kenya Military Academy (KMA) have successfully completed a two-week field training exercise conducted in the general areas of Lanet and Gilgil.
The exercise was designed to enhance the cadets’ tactical proficiency through urban warfare operations and exposure to the evolving dynamics of asymmetric warfare, strengthening their combat readiness and ability to operate effectively in demanding operational environments.
Through practical field scenarios, the cadets translated classroom instruction into essential military skills, reinforcing discipline, teamwork, resilience and leadership while sharpening their critical thinking and decision-making under pressure.
