Operational readiness, tactical proficiency and force protection remain critical to safeguarding peacekeepers operating in volatile security environments. In eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), persistent threats from illegal armed groups demand constant vigilance, coordinated responses and mission-focused training.
Kenya’s 4th Signal Company (KENSIG 4), deployed under the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), continues to enhance its defensive capabilities to safeguard UN personnel, installations and mission assets.
As part of operational preparedness, the Company’s Base Defence Platoon conducted a two-day exercise from 25 to 26 October 2026, focusing on Very Important Person (VIP) protection and protected mobility drills.
