Sixty-three years ago, the Midwest Region was created following the 1963 plebiscite that carved out part of the then-Western Region. The historic referendum increased Nigeria’s regions from three to four, and remains the last time a civilian government successfully created a new subnational entity. Since the creation of the Midwest Region, Nigeria’s subnational structure has expanded from four regions to 36 states, all created through military decrees, largely free from the constitutional restrictions that currently apply.

Jung also highlighted the South Korean military’s personnel shortage, especially among noncommissioned officers and officers expected to help train new conscripts to use drones. Lessons from Ukraine It’s worth noting that Ukraine, the model for so many countries’ military reform efforts, does not field a military where everyone is trained to be a drone pilot—although Ukraine has scaled up training to produce tens of thousands of drone operators. Instead, Ukraine’s effective use of military drones comes from having widely deployed specialized drone operator teams to back up front-line infantry units, standing up the Unmanned Systems Forces branch of the military…
