Lieutenant Abdul Jalil Samed, the Intelligence Officer of the 66 Artillery Regiment, delivered an opening address in which he welcomed the visiting students and expressed enthusiasm about hosting them at the Regiment.
He used the occasion to walk the students through the organisational structure of the Ghana Armed Forces, with particular focus on the 66 Artillery Regiment.
According to a statement by the armed forces, his lecture covered the history of the Regiment, its core functions, day-to-day operations, and the weapon systems it deploys.
Beyond the classroom-style instruction, students were given a practical component to the visit, with several weapons placed on display for them to observe at close quarters.
Among the systems shown were the 105mm and 122mm Howitzers, as well as the 107mm and 122mm Multiple Rocket Launcher Systems.
The display gave students a direct look at the kind of artillery equipment maintained and operated by the Regiment.
The visit offered a rare opportunity for secondary-level students to engage with Ghana's military outside a purely academic setting, combining historical context with a tangible look at the country's defence infrastructure.
