Originally published by Ministry of Defence – Kenya — Read the original article →
Discipline, professional excellence and effective leadership remain the bedrock of a capable, cohesive and mission-ready military force. These values shape the character of service members, strengthen operational effectiveness and sustain the Kenya Defence Forces’ (KDF) capacity to respond decisively to evolving security challenges.
The Defence Forces Sergeant Major (DFSM), Warrant Officer Class One (WO1) Bwana Haji Omar, recently reinforced these principles during a series of engagements with service members at the Kenya Naval Training College and 15 Kenya Rifles in Mariakani respectively.
Addressing newly recruited service members at the Kenya Naval Training College, the DFSM underscored the importance of instilling military values from the earliest stages of training. He challenged the Privates Under Training (PUTs) to embrace discipline, integrity, teamwork, resilience and respect for the chain of command as essential foundations of military service.
