Originally published by Ministry of Defence – Kenya — Read the original article →
Effective military leadership begins at the junior command level, where discipline, sound judgement and decisive action shape operational effectiveness. Recognising this critical responsibility, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) continues to invest in professional military education to develop competent, resilient and mission-ready leaders.
This commitment was demonstrated during the Pass Out Parade of Junior Leadership Command Course (JLCC) held on 29 October 2026 at the Defence Forces Technical College (DEFTEC), Embakasi Garrison. The ceremony was presided over by the Commandant DEFTEC, Brigadier Ismail Noor.
The graduation marked the successful completion of an intensive training programme designed to equip Junior Non-Commissioned Officers (JNCOs) with essential command, leadership, supervisory and management competencies necessary for effective unit administration and operational performance.
