The assurance was given by the General Officer Commanding Southern Command, Brigadier General Edward Awaribey, during his welcome address at the 2026 Static and Firepower Demonstration held at the Battle Training Camp in Bundase.

Brigadier General Awaribey explained that the Ghana military continues to strengthen its operational effectiveness by adopting lessons learned from security operations across the West African sub-region and other parts of the continent.
According to him, these experiences are helping the armed forces improve their preparedness, adaptability and ability to respond to evolving security challenges.
He further emphasised that the Ghana Armed Forces remains committed to safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and protecting its citizens against any form of aggression or destabilisation.
The military commander assured the public that the armed forces remain motivated, mission-focused and fully prepared to fulfil their constitutional responsibility of defending Ghana.
