He expressed gratitude to Hon Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful and Ankobrah West Rural Bank for supporting the infrastructure needs of the School and urged all ranks to take care of the new facilities for the benefit of the school.

The Commanding Officer (CO), Lt Col Jacob Cudjoe stated that the projects demonstrate a commitment to excellence and personnel development, enhancing the effectiveness of the Jungle Warfare training program.
