President Tshisekede's revitalised FARDC inspectorates

 


Discipline, they say, is the mother of the army and proper administration of FARDC requires control at all levels of human resources and logistics deployed on all fronts. The Head of State, as Supreme Commander of the FARDC, understood him so well that he wanted to revitalize the Inspectorate General of Army by putting experienced officers with knowledge of the field and military affairs management.

The trio called to revitalize this crucial service for our army is composed of Army General Amisi Kumba Gabriel (Inspector General), General-Major Muhindo Akili Mundos (Deputy Inspector General in charge of intelligence and operations) and General-Major Kasereka Sindani Étienne (Deputy Inspector General in charge of administration).

The Inspectorate General of Armed Forces is part of three levels of a country's defense system. In the first level, the elements of maneuvers, namely military regions, operational sectors, brigades and combat units, the second level (Coordination elements) is composed of the General Staff, Land Forces Staff, Naval Forces Staff, Air Force Staff and the 3 Defense Zones. Finally, in the third level, called Elements of Conception, we find the President of the Republic, Parliament and the Government. In all the army of the world, the Inspectorate General is integrating the level of the Conception.

He acts as a key element in army control. This is the compass as this body is called to control the means that the Government makes available to the army through the Ministry of National Defence. It passes on government orders and directions for the proper run of national defense. Simply put, the General Inspectorate of Armies ensures proper march, staff control, logistics, everything that is going on in the army, everything that locks the proper functioning of the army preventing it from being more efficient in his delightful mission.

Operationally, the Inspectorate General responds to the orders of the Supreme Commander of FARDC and administratively, to the government. Taking into account the mission of this tool by the Supreme Commander of the FARDC is a guarantee of success and / or failure of the general national defence policy. As we know, in order for there to be a decision to deploy to the front (to war), it takes the agreement of the government and the siding. The government gives its green light to the General Staff (Coordination level) to evaluate the power ratio and the unit to be sent to the field to respond effectively by putting substantial means. On a tactical level, the maneuvers are acting.

Coordination gives order over what's going on on the field (maneuver / tactics). On these officers, lots of inks and saliva sank. The three general officers have ordered risky operations in problematic and iconic areas. On the proposal of Army General Célestin Mbala Munsense, Chief of General Staff of the FARDC who knows the achievements and bravours of his men, and as wisdom wants: ′′ You do not shoot at your own sniper ", the Head of State by trusting them to judge them on actions, gives them the opportunity to prove that what they were accused of was just chimera. They will be judged at the outcome.

The assignment of three officers, all field men who have nothing left to prove to animate this tool, is another asset for the Head of State in his look at the operation of the army. Unless this body that has received a new breath is corrupted like some others, in which case, the last energy must be sanctioned, the efficiency of the national army must be proven from the Inspectorate. In charge of intelligence and operations, General-Major Muhindo Akili Mundos should be more mobile to take temperature on all military fronts and, the experience helping, make detailed, tactical and technical reports for the proper conduct of operations. As a reminder, the three General Officers were appointed by Order No. 20/075 of July 17, 2020 Appointing to the Inspectorate General of FARDC.

With Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi's advent to power, we feel the resurrection of the Inspector General of Finance as a State control tool, it is desirable that all inspections, including that of the Congolese National Police, should cover and catch breath to act as the law wants to make the services they are called upon to control more efficiently. The fear of the policeman, like the fear of God in Christians, would be beneficial to the republic.
