✨ Boko Haram’s Grim Reminder: 20 Soldiers Killed as Militants Overrun Military Camp in Borno ✨ In a devastating assault, Boko Haram fighters attacked a Nigerian military camp in Kareto, Borno State, leaving about 20 soldiers dead and causing extensive damage. The militants, reportedly from the Islamic State faction of Boko Haram, used a combination of weaponry and a suicide car bomb to breach the camp’s defences on Saturday. According to military sources, the insurgents destroyed 14 vehicles, looted heavy machine guns, and seized four military vehicles before retreating. The attack marked another grim chapter in Borno’s decade-long battle against insurgency. Recommendations for Tactical Improvement: 1. Review Super Camp Strategy: The concentration of troops in “super camps” has left vast areas vulnerable. The military should reassess this approach to ensure adequate coverage and protection for remote communities. 2. Deploy Armed Drones: Using missile-equipped drones would enable real-time surveillance and precision strikes, disrupting insurgent operations and preventing surprise attacks. 3. Offensive Engagement: The military must adopt a proactive strategy, taking the battle to Boko Haram’s hideouts instead of waiting for attacks. Intensifying air and ground offensives in known insurgent strongholds could degrade their capabilities. Leadership Responses: Governor Babagana Zulum condemned the attack, describing it as a painful reminder of Boko Haram’s persistent threat. In a statement, he expressed solidarity with the armed forces and affected families, reaffirming the government’s commitment to security and resettlement efforts in northern Borno. Similarly, TRAZ Intelligence and Security Solutions Limited extended condolences to the military and reiterated the importance of employing advanced tactics and technology in counterinsurgency efforts.

🚨 UPDATE 🚨 Expected Gate Delays For Eglin AFB: Effective IMMEDIATELY, 100% ID checks are now in effect for Eglin AFB. Expect delays at the gates. For further details on this change, contact your chain of command. All personnel are reminded to be aware of their surroundings. If you see something, say something. Word on the street is that Eglin will start 100% ID Checks! DOD ID = #TooEasy, all set! Friend or colleague that doesn’t have DOD Access is coming on base with you? You gotta stop at the Visitors Center and get them a pass 🎟️ Why?! Glad you asked 👇🏾 Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) is currently under Force Protection Condition (FPCON) Bravo. FPCON Bravo is used when there is an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity. The condition requires increased security measures compared to FPCON Alpha, which is used when there is a general global 🌎 threat of possible terrorist activity. The heightened security under FPCON Bravo could include increased patrols, tightened security, or the requirement for identification checks at entries. When an area is under FPCON Bravo, you can expect additional security measures that may affect daily routines. Here are a few things you might need to be aware of if you are visiting or working at Eglin AFB during this time: (I’m not sure about the other installations 🤔) 1. Access Delays: There may be delays at gate access points due to more rigorous checks, so plan for extra time when entering the base. 2. Random Inspections: Vehicles and personal belongings might be subject to random inspections. 3. Restricted Areas: Some areas of the base might have restricted access that normally would be accessible. 4. Increased Vigilance: Personnel are often advised to be more vigilant and report any suspicious activities or behavior. Thats it, that’s all I got!! #TheMoreYouKnow 🌈 😉 #igy6 🙌🏾 💕

🇮🇷 🇮🇱🚨🚨102 MISSLES FIRED FROM IRAN TOWARDS ISRAEL NOW! IDF spokesman: A short time ago missiles were launched from Iran into the territory of the State of Israel. You are asked to be vigilant and act exactly according to the instructions of the Home Front Command. In the last few minutes, the Home Front Command has distributed life-saving instructions in various areas of the country. The public is asked to obey the directives of the Home Front Command, and when an alarm sounds, you must enter the protected area and wait there until further instructions. The IDF is doing and will do everything necessary to protect the citizens of the State of Israel. The full words of the IDF spokesman are attached: Dear citizens, A short time ago, missiles were launched from Iran into the territory of the State of Israel. You are asked to be vigilant and act exactly according to the instructions of the Home Front Command. In the last few minutes, the Home Front Command distributed messages to cell phones in certain areas with life-saving instructions, instructing them to enter a protected area. You must safely reach the most protected place, in the space where you are. When an alarm sounds, you must enter a protected area and wait there until otherwise instructed. The air defense system is fully operational, detecting and intercepting threats wherever it is needed, even at these moments. At the same time, the defense is not hermetic, and therefore the directives of the Home Front Command must be obeyed. You may hear explosions, originating from interceptions or falls. Since we are dealing with different types of threats, it is possible that the alerts will operate in large areas. We updated ourselves on the instructions on the official pages of the Home Front Command and the IDF spokesperson. Continue to act responsibly and keep calm, as you have done so far, and make sure to follow the instructions. We are strong and capable of this event as well. The IDF is doing and will do everything that is required to protect the citizens of the State of Israel, the IDF forces are prepared and ready to defend and attack with peak readiness. I will continue to appear here and update you on all developments.

Would a similar breach have been possible on an Australian Defence base ? Whilst we “lock up” the important stuff…how vulnerable are power, water, communications, etc, etc on ADF bases ? How vulnerable are external services that support and sustain base operations ? We need to have a close look at the security of our own bases.

A suicide bombing is a terrorist attack in which the perpetrator attempts to kill and injure people with the clear knowledge that they will not survive. The intention is for the bomber to detonate themselves in the heart of a civilian population, which is expressed in the term "suicide bomber" or "explosive attack." According to most human rights organizations, attacks against civilians are considered crimes against humanity. Suicide bombings are carried out using various methods, including explosive belts worn on the body, which contain explosives along with metal fragments to increase the damage. Contrary to the public perception that it is a spontaneous act of an individual deciding to carry it out on their own, there is a complete mechanism surrounding the bomber that prepares them for this act, similar to a military operation. The suicide bomber themselves is merely the tip of the iceberg in a well-oiled system that involves tactical planning for target selection, preparation of the explosives, sewing the explosive belt, and conducting simulations to determine how much explosive material is required, including metal balls, to cause the greatest damage at a specific range. Hammas took responsibilty for the attack that happaen yesterday, August 18th' next to a Synagogue but fortunatly it happend in aplace where not a lot of people and most probably it was an explosive devise failure and the target was to blow up a large crowd in concentration -under investigation by thr ISA and POLICE . 2 people were injured. The importance of citizens to a very high security awaeness is important for another circle of security to prevent shuch attacks when you suspect a person who is unbehaved, do not approach unless you are trained for this ( please read my post about the tactical ways to result it ) , keep the crowd away and call the police immediatly. Here you can see a terrosist falling and has a suiecied belt on him. The policeman saw and run a way while people are still there instead of shuttinfg down the ability to oprate the belt.

#Iran🇮🇷 Two parallel investigations are currently underway in #Iran, one technical and the other forensic. Telegram channels linked to the #IRGC indicate that the helicopter was following its predetermined flight path when it crashed into a mountainous region, subsequently catching fire. Initial investigations have ruled out any external impacts such as bullet holes in the wreckage. An investigative team was promptly dispatched to the crash site to gather crucial information and has collected significant data about the crash circumstances. Preliminary findings suggest no deviations from the planned route or suspicious communications prior to the crash. The Iranian Armed Forces have pledged to keep the public informed as new details emerge from the ongoing investigation. Both technical and forensic inquiries aim to provide comprehensive insights into the tragic incident. #IRGCNarrative #Simulacra #deniability #Succession🇮🇷 #IranianStreets #BazaarGossip #Discurse #Hyperreality
