“Major General Eric Emekah, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 6 Division, officially kicked off the Division Inter-Brigade Corporal and Below Competition 2025, stressing the importance of the event in testing troops’ endurance under difficult circumstances. ‘The operational successes we’ve seen in Operation DELTA SAFE wouldn’t have been possible if our troops weren’t both mentally and physically fit,’ he said. With competitions like drill, weapon handling, and even a 5km combat race, the event is set to push the soldiers to their limits while fostering camaraderie and esprit-de-corps.”

This highlights both the competitive spirit and the intense preparation required for the soldiers, showcasing how these events are more than just physical challenges—they’re about building resilience and teamwork.
