NAF repositions civil-military relations as operational enabler

NAF Chief Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke repositioned civil-military relations as a key operational enabler at the 2026 Civil-Military Relations Conference. Initiatives include enhanced community engagement, institutionalised feedback mechanisms, and strengthened strategic communication across operational theatres. These measures aim to build trust, foster cooperation, and integrate the human dimension into air operations, moving beyond kinetic dominance for operational success. The Air Force emphasized intelligence-driven operations, inter-agency collaboration, and integration of kinetic and non-kinetic strategies like strategic communication. Practical recommendations are sought to deepen civil-military cooperation and enhance operational efficiency.
