President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja directed the central command of the military to relocate to Maiduguri, Borno, to intensify the fight against Boko Haram insurgency. Buhari, who gave the directive in his address after his inauguration, said it was impossible to achieve victory against the insurgents if the command continued to operate from Abuja. He said that the command center would relocate and remain in Maiduguri until the insurgents were subdued.No where in the History of world military History will the military central command
be located right in the combat zone it is the height of unprofessional-

Military Central command are non combatants they are not infantry units but expertise from various field of course
Structure
Central Command headquarters staff directorates include personnel, intelligence, operations, logistics, plans & policy, information systems, training & exercises, and resources, and other functions. The intelligence section is known as Joint Intelligence Center, Central Command, or JICCENT, which serves as a Joint Intelligence Center for the co-ordination of intelligence. Under the intelligence directorate, there are several divisions
In the United State the Central Military Command directs four "service component commands" and one subordinate unified command and no fighting units directly subordinate to it:
The United States Army Central (USARCENT), and the United States Air Forces Central Command (USAFCENT), both headquartered at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, the U.S. Marine Forces Central Command (USMARCENT), headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida and the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (USNAVCENT), headquartered at Naval Support Activity Bahrain in the Kingdom of Bahrain. MacDill Air Force Base also hosts a Sub-unified command called the Special Operations Command Central (USSOCCENT).
In 1983, U.S. Military Central Command was established to succeed the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force, formed at MacDill AFB, Florida on 1 March 1980, to handle US national security interests in Southwest Asia, Central Asia and the Persian G

Tactically its a great Blunder for Mr Buhari to relocated the Military Central command right into sambisa forest when he knew quite well that these people are non combatants they are not infantry soldiers and their area of responsibilty covers a wider area than just boko haram. they monitor , deploy and protect both Nigeria air land and water from both internal and external aggression.
Relocating Nigeria military Central Command to frontline war zone is the most senseless decision any president have ever taken and such action is capable of endangering Nigeria external security an outside force may invade the nation of Nigeria in time like these..
This wrong decision calls for us to revisit Buhari certificate scandal and how he come about his title of Major General when he is incapable of simple kindergarten Military Decision.

It's a deadly decision
Jesse Osayande Vucinic Ehiagwina
Who's this? There's also a broken structure in our military now. Structurally, they're not intact. The command centre is far away from the real men fighting. The CC have also been a little insincere in there fight. This man also makes it seem like a CC isn't movable. It is. You can move it to a war front if you deem it fit and if you feel it'll give you an advantage. He mentions the US that has a poor record of fighting insurgency, or even going to wars in general. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan have been failures. Why use them as an example? Does he know how the Red Army (Soviet Union) resisted the Germans? They moved almost all their forces to the frontline of the war. The Russians have a saying that they have the numbers (people) and ergo why they do so. They lost more people in the WW2 than any nation but it was a necessary evil for them to resist Germany. Its shameful when Nigerians keep referring to America at every turn like they're the beacon or that they have a successful template for people to copy.
