Ghana Armed Forces to conduct fire power demonstration at Bundase

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced it will conduct its 2026 Land Combat Fire Power Demonstration on October 30, 2026. The exercise, a major event on the military's annual calendar, is scheduled to take place at the Battle Training Camp in Bundase. This operation serves as a critical component of the military's training schedule, showcasing the force's readiness and operational capabilities through rigorous field activities. The demonstration is primarily designed for students of the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC) to provide them with practical exposure to land combat tactics. The exercise will feature a comprehensive array of live firing, sophisticated battle drills, and complex tactical maneuvers. By integrating various units of the army, the GAF aims to demonstrate the synergy required in modern land warfare and provide the senior officers-in-training with a clear understanding of fire power application in the field. High-ranking government officials, members of the diplomatic corps including Defence Attachés, and senior personnel from various branches of the Armed Forces are expected to attend the event at the Bundase range. In light of the high-intensity nature of the exercise, which involves the use of live ammunition, the GAF has issued a notice to residents living near the training camp. The military leadership has assured the public that comprehensive safety measures have been established to prevent accidents during the live-fire maneuvers. The 2026 Land Combat Fire Power Demonstration underscores the ongoing commitment of the GAF to maintain high standards of professional competence and national defense readiness. Residents and passersby are urged not to panic when they hear the sounds of heavy artillery or observe military movements in the Bundase area on the day of the exercise. This annual event remains a benchmark for assessing the coordination and effectiveness of Ghana's land forces in a simulated combat environment.
