2nd day of Lieutenant General Saïd CHANEGRIHA, Chief of Staff of the People’s National Army’s visit to the 6th Military Region - Tamanrasset
Lieutenant General Said CHANEGRIHA, Chief of Staff of the People’s National Army, continued with his 2nd day visit to the 6th Military Region in Tamanrasset, by supervising the execution of a tactical exercise with live ammunition, entitled “Tiririne 2021’ Challenge”; as part of the first phase evaluation of the combat readiness program for the year 2020-2021.
The Lieutenant General first was given a presentation on the tactical exercise with live ammunition, its various phases and objectives.
He then followed closely the combat actions carried out by the engaged units belonging to various Land, Air and Territorial Air Defence Forces, preceded by reconnaissance planes and drones, at the shooting range of the Operational Sector of In-Guezzam, accompanied by Major General Mohamed ADJROUD, Commander of the 6th Military Region. These activities were characterised, during all their phases, by a high level of tactical and operational professionalism, reflecting the readiness in the implementation of the actions both in terms of planning and execution. The exercise also reflected the capabilities of the executives regarding the planning and operation of various combat actions, as well as the mastery by all its personnel of the various weapon systems’ use and equipment made available to them. All contributed to the achievement of the objectives previously set.
This tactical exercise, carried out with live ammunition, aimed to test the combat readiness of the Sector's units, to train commanders and staff in the execution of operations, to develop their planning, preparation, organisation and execution knowledge, and to put them in a real war environment simulation.
The exercise also included a parachute drop of paratroopers’ detachment, a helicopter landing of another detachment, and a fighter aircraft aerial refuelling.
Finally, the Lieutenant General held a meeting with the units’ personnel that carried out the exercise, where he congratulated them for the efforts made during the preparation and execution of this tactical activity with live ammunition, the results of which were very conclusive thanks to the precision of the firing of the different weapons. In this regard, he reminded them that the consolidation of combat experience, knowledge and skills, is an operational objective that can only be achieved through field work, that is to say the successful execution of exercises, adding to that the theoretical knowledge, and scientific specialties, provided by the different institutions: at the military schools and institutes. He pointed out to the fact that all remains insufficient if not implemented in the field.
The Lieutenant General then inspected the field hospital deployed for the exercise; it was prepared with all the necessary equipment for these types of situations, including operating rooms for delicate surgical operations.
By the end of the visit, the Lieutenant General inspected as well, the Operational Sector’s units of Guezzam and the other forces taking part in this exercise.
