As part of activities to mark the end of the year, the 66 Artillery Regiment and the Artillery Training School, in collaboration with sister security services in the Ho Municipality, organized fun games to promote unity, relaxation and esprit de corps among personnel.

The Commanding Officer of the 66 Artillery Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Jalali Din Ibrahim, in his remarks stated that the fun games provided personnel with an opportunity to unwind after a demanding year of service while strengthening inter-service cooperation and camaraderie. He encouraged participants to carry the same level of enthusiasm, teamwork and esprit de corps into the new year.
