The Ghana Armed Forces showcased an impressive display of tactical skill and coordination during the 2025 Military Land Combat Fire Power Demonstration (LCFPD), held on October 31, 2025, at the Battle Training Camp in Bundase.
The event, organised by the Southern Command, forms a key component of the training programme for students of the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC) Senior Division Course 47.
Its primary objective is to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world battlefield practice while strengthening joint operations and coordination among the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Government pledges major modernisation of Ghana Armed Forces
This year’s exercise featured a joint military simulation designed to test the Ghana Armed Forces’ ability to execute complex operations under realistic combat conditions. Participants were also briefed on the history and capabilities of various weapons and observed their effectiveness through live-fire drills.
Deputy Minister for Defence, Ernest Brogya Genfi, also joined the exercise, taking part in a supervised shooting session under the guidance of military instructors.
One of the major highlights of the event was a simulated casualty evacuation, during which soldiers performed a realistic rescue operation. The demonstration included the evacuation of the wounded using an armoured ambulance, provision of emergency medical care, and air evacuation via helicopter.
The exercise was led by the 1 Infantry Battalion, with support from the 2 and 5 Infantry Battalions, 66 Artillery Regiment, 153 Armoured Regiment, 48 Engineer Regiment, 81 Signal Regiment, and the Ghana Army Special Operations Brigade. The Navy and Air Force also participated, providing critical support in the joint simulation.
