Towards the end of the Junior Command and Staff Course 19 (JCSC 19) Programme, students conducted a Field Training Exercise nicknamed SHAMBULIA ADUI from 28 Sep to 7 Oct 22. The Exercise was conducted in the general area of Gabiro (Eastern Province), where students were exercised at Brigade level to a Company level. Ex-SHAMBULIA ADUI is a one-week Field Training Exercise conducted by students of JCSC which is a one-sided exercise with controlled enemy. It was designed to assess student officers in various aspects of leadership and C3 in the planning and conduct of operations of war.
The FTX was a culmination of all theories covered over the last five months and it was an environment where all operations of war and other special operations were practically exercised. The JCSC improves the officers’ command and staff competencies by giving them prerequisite attitude, knowledge and skills at the tactical level. It also prepares them for higher military courses such as the Senior Command and Staff Course.
