Air Force redeploys senior officers

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has redeployed some senior officers.

NAF has also established two new commands – Air Training Command (ATC) with Headquarters in Kaduna and Ground Training Command (GTC) with Headquarters in Enugu.

The new commands were excised from the now defunct Training Command (TC) thereby bringing the total number of Commands in the NAF to 6.

The ATC will be responsible for the implementation of policies on flying and air operations while the GTC will be responsible for the implementation of local ground training.

Both would handle all the needs of the NAF, with regards to communications, electronics, radar maintenance, Information and Space Technology.
