Training activities remain the real
objectives of the department. The essence of
this is to ensure that the training
objectives of the College are realized. The
training activities apart from the normal
syndicate works of instruction and tutorials
include indoor telephone battles, tactical
exercises without troops, static display
demonstrations, visits to training
schools/major formations and other relevant
establishments.
The main objective of the Junior Course is
to train Captains as junior commanders and
staff officers at the unit level. That of
