Why the Nigerian Army’s Port Harcourt Rescue Drill Deserves Top Marks
I watched the rescue simulation at the grand finale of the Nigerian Army’s 163rd anniversary in Port Harcourt. Many viewers pointed out supposed errors. I saw none. It was flawless. First, critics complained about the landing style. A military helicopter must decelerate fast to avoid giving enemies time to react. That violent touchdown earns 10/10. Second, some said no one stayed behind to cover the operation. I counted ten personnel leave the choppers and only five return with the rescued. The other five stayed out of frame. That deserves 11/10. Finally, the formation on the return leg was spot on. Two lead, two flank, and one with the rescued. As an army enthusiast, I loved it. Overall, this simulation deserves a solid 10/10.
