At the closing ceremony, the Acting Commandant of GAFCSC, Brigadier General Jackson Wonje, stated that the course had provided students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, concepts, and tactics involved in MDO. He noted that the course had equipped students with the conceptual understanding and operational insights required to respond to modern, hybrid, and multi-domain warfare challenges.

Brigadier General Wonje emphasized that the training's relevance extends beyond national borders and that security professionals operating within the framework of the Ghana Armed Forces, ECOWAS, and the African Union must build collective capacity to respond to evolving threats. He acknowledged the students' active participation, collaborative spirit, and shared commitment to professionalism and the advancement of peace and security.

The Acting Commandant urged the students to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the course to drive innovation, enhance operational effectiveness, and ensure national security.
