The Theatre Commander Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru has launched Mobile Strike Teams (MST) at the Military Command and Control Centre, Maimalari Military Cantonment, Maiduguri, Borno State.
The Theatre Commander in his address said that the teams are specially selected forces with mixed equipment and platforms to achieve the conduct of long range patrols and ambushes deep into the hinterland.
He urged teams to be discipline, confident, resolute, focused and determined in their determined efforts of clearing the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists wherever they are found.
It would be recalled that the MST were trained at Nigerian Army School of Special Forces (NASFS), Buni Yadi, Yobe State recently. Their task is to keep the main supply route and all rural settlements safe.
