Security both internal and external is key to the prosperity of any nation. Most nations in the world including Ghana boast of a strong and able defense force that comprises the Amy, Navy, and Air Forces that help keep peace and tranquillity in the country’s land, water, and air respectively. The following article seeks to educate readers on one of the most important aspects of Ghana’s defense force; the Air Force and will touch on its ranks and Insignia.
When it comes to disciplined forces, power and authority are very important. It’s said in the disciplined forces that an order is most important than the one giving it. In order to be able to give such orders one needs to hold a higher rank in the army. Ghana’s Air Force ranks are first subdivided into two; the Officers and the Airmen officers.
Briefly, the officers are the day-to-day problem solvers, managers, planners,s and key influencers who are responsible for training and leading airmen officers in all situations around the airbase. Airmen officers, on the other hand, are military officers given authority by the officers and are not in any way considered to be in technical command.
Note Ghana’s rank structure was derived from RAF’s rank structure and hence the huge similarity between the two.
