The Ghana Navy Special Boat Squadron (GNSBS) has commenced the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Orientation and Operations Planners Course 3 at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) on Friday, 3 October 2025.
The course is designed to equip participants with knowledge of the SOF operational planning process, using the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP).
In his welcome address, the Guest of Honour and Deputy Commandant KAIPTC, Brigadier General (Brig Gen) Zibrim Bawah Ayorrogo, urged participants to seize the opportunity to deepen their understanding of special forces operational planning. He also encouraged them to build professional networks that extend beyond the course, emphasising that the threats faced today are transnational in nature.
Brig Gen Ayorrogo expressed appreciation to the Danish Government for its continuous support to the Special Boat Squadron and the Ghana Navy.
The week-long course has brought together about 40 participants drawn from the Ghana Armed Forces, Ghana Police Service, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana Boundary Commission, National Security, Narcotics Control Commission, Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, as well as foreign participants from Senegal, Benin, Nigeria, Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire.
