Lt Gen Agyapong commended the government for recent logistics support, pointing to new troop transport vehicles, advanced tactical gear, and ongoing barracks regeneration projects that are easing severe housing shortages across military garrisons.
The High Command noted that these interventions have directly boosted troop morale and enhanced everyday response capabilities across the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Strategic Platforms Planned for Three Services
In his response, Adjei assured the military leadership that government will sustain its retooling agenda, revealing that procurement processes for heavy strategic hardware are nearing completion.
He further disclosed that plans were far advanced to acquire strategic military platforms for the three services, including naval ships and aircraft, as part of efforts to enhance the operational readiness and capabilities of the Ghana Armed Forces.
The upcoming fleet additions aim to secure Ghana's maritime economic zone against piracy, bolster border surveillance, and ensure the armed forces retain territorial dominance across West Africa.
