The Chief of the Namibian Defence Force, Air Marshal Martin Pinehas, conferred the substantive rank of Major General on Remigius Kalimba.

A Major General is the second-highest rank in the Namibian Defence Force.

The German Armed Forces Technical Advisory Groups handed over a mobile command post worth more than N$30 million to the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs.

The mobile command post is a quickly deployable unit to command troops in and out of the area of operation.

Chief of the Defence Force Air Marshal Martin Pinehas has emphasised that cooperative security and diplomacy between countries serve as effective and peaceful instruments for promoting international cooperation, peace and security.

The Namibian Defence Force (NDF) has been commended for effectively assisting flood-hit communities in northern regions, where rising waters have cut off access to essential services.

The ongoing relief operation, launched last month, supports areas at high risk of waterborne diseases.
