The training, which lasted four and a half months, was designed to equip participants with the necessary skills to serve as professional company commanders, platoon commanders, company sergeant majors, and platoon sergeants.
RDF Chief of Defence Staff, General MK Mubarakh presided over the graduation ceremony on Saturday, February 8. He lauded the trainees for their dedication, discipline, and sacrifice, which enabled them to reach this significant milestone.
At the same time, General Mubarakh stressed the importance of continuous military training in ensuring operational effectiveness and readiness to address evolving security challenges.
'It is the norm in any military that, to operate effectively, officers and NCOs must undertake rigorous training continuously. Military training prepares individuals to effectively perform physically and mentally demanding tasks at the highest possible levels of proficiency. Training pays off with significant achievements in theatre and routine force duties. This is in line with leadership guidance as constantly stressed by the Commander-in-Chief of the RDF,' said General Mubarakh.
He urged the graduates to apply the knowledge and skills gained from the training in their respective roles while upholding discipline as a core value of the RDF.
The comprehensive program focused on enhancing military skills, tactical planning, leadership, and administrative management, reinforcing RDF's commitment to professionalism and preparedness for present and future security challenges.
The completion of this training marks another step in the RDF's mission to strengthen the capabilities of Rwanda's security forces, ensuring they remain well-equipped to maintain national and regional stability.
