Major Ampadu made this known in an interview with Adom News after an endurance walk done at least thrice a year to show force and readiness.
“We are ready and willing to protect residents in communities in which we operate from any form of aggression”, he said.
The over 3-hour exercise started at their base at Michel Camp, then through some streets within Ashaiman and Tema.

Apart from the physical and mental benefits of the exercise, it also afforded some soldiers posted to Michel Camp to know their boundaries.
Major Daniel Ampadu maintains that Operation Calm Life has been successful.
“Per feedback we get from the public, I believe it has been successful”, he stated.
