The security drill operation, which has been ongoing in the past month, has seen participants exposed to various skills for their survival.
The multi-agency exercise, according to Gen Kibochi, has future plans to achieve full interoperability between, Air, Land, Maritime, and multi-agency security architecture for mission readiness in a variety of operations.
The KDF reiterated that training is the best way to attain mission readiness, in order to provide comprehensive security to secure the people and their livelihoods.
The exercise incorporates troops from KDF, National Police, Kenya Coast Guard Service, Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Service, and the National Youth Service among others.
The exercise was designed to respond to emerging security threats, which require the employment of a whole government approach in delivering.
The exercise, which was launched late, last month, has brought together Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to exercise how to effectively operate in a Multi-Agency framework.
The exercise will be conducted in Garissa, Tana River, and Lamu counties.
These areas have been affected by terrorism, which has led to less development and fears among many.
The areas are near the Kenya-Somalia border, which makes it easier for Al-Shabaab to attack at will.
