The Army Headquarters Department of Training and Operations (DATOPS), hosted a maiden workshop for Commanders, Commanding Officers and Staff Officers of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, on the concept of "Super Camp" held at Headquarters 25 Task Force Brigade (Super Camp 2) Damboa, Borno state.

Declaring the workshop open, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, represented by the Chief of Training and Operations (Army), Major General Enobong Udoh, charged participants to take the workshop seriously, as the concept of the Super Camp is a force multiplier that allows for concentration of manpower and resources. 

He further commended  participants  for their sacrifices to the country and for being good ambassadors of the Nigerian Army.

In his welcome address, the Theatre Commander, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Major General Benson Akinroluyo, appreciated the COAS for the new Super Camp concept, which he said will serve as launching pad for mobile offensive operations in containing and denying the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs)/ criminals freedom of action in identified areas across the theatre".

General Akinroluyo, stated that, the super camps would further boost force protection of troops while on camps, as well as enable them to project force through long distance patrols and ambushes to dominate their areas of operation.
