The graduates, who underwent nine months of intensive training under the Army Special Operations Brigade (ASOB) at Gondar Barracks in Accra, were addressed by Acting Chief of the Army Staff Brigadier General Franklyn Kwasi Agbebo, who emphasized the importance of special operations forces in tackling evolving security challenges through intelligence-led operations, precision, and rapid response. Brigadier General Agbebo stressed the need to strengthen border security and counterterrorism capabilities, urging the newly qualified operators to uphold discipline, physical fitness, tactical proficiency, and professional integrity.",
