With the establishment of the two, Nigerian Air Force has a total of six commands.

According to the statement issued to announce the development, the actions were to ensure effective and efficient projection of air power.

The statement reads: “As part of restructuring efforts by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to enhance the effective and efficient projection of air power, 2 new Commands and a Branch have been established.

 “The 2 new Commands established are the Air Training Command (ATC) with Headquarters in Kaduna and Ground Training Command (GTC) with Headquarters in Enugu. These new commands were excised from the now defunct Training Command (TC) thereby bringing the total number of Commands in the NAF to 6.

“The ATC will be responsible for the implementation of policies on flying and air operations while the GTC will be responsible for the implementation of local ground training.

“The newly established Branch is known as Communications Branch. The Branch was unbundled from the former Logistics and Communications Branch which brings the number of NAF branches to 10.

“The new Branch would handle all the needs of the NAF, with regards to communications, electronics, radar maintenance, Information and Space Technology.
