The Story
From the first shots of 1914 to the future of warfare — the making of a force, the trials of a republic, service abroad, and the future of Nigeria's defence.
Amalgamation, the world wars, and the colonial regiments from which a national army would emerge.
Nationhood, the civil-war years, and the forging of a professional, unified force.
Peacekeeping missions, regional security leadership, and Nigeria's standing on the world stage.
New domains, emerging threats, and the next generation who will hold the line.
Chapter III — Service Abroad
From ECOMOG to United Nations missions, Nigerian troops have stood for stability far beyond their borders. This chapter follows them — and the families who waited.
