Originally published by Ministry of Defence – Kenya — Read the original article →
Survival in demanding operational environments depends on preparation, sound judgement and the ability to respond decisively when conditions deteriorate. For military personnel operating in aviation, maritime and other water-related environments, these skills can prove critical during emergencies.
The Kenya Air Force (KAF) is strengthening this capability through Water Survival Course No. 34/26, officially opened by the Base Commander Moi Air Base (MAB), Brigadier Herbert Wafula, at the Kenya Air Force Training Wing on 29 September 2026.
The course brings together instructors and participants drawn from across the Services, reinforcing the importance of joint training in developing interoperable skills and enhancing overall Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) operational readiness.
