I maybe wrong, but the General in charge of the Zambia Air Force is referred to as the Zambia Air Force COMMANDER, not “Commandant”. Just like the General in charge of the Zambia Army can not be referred to as Commandant, but Commander. Nonetheless, the one in charge of ZNS can be referred to as Commandant. I know it is some sort of word play, but in military circles there is a difference between the two.

It is unbelievable that even wives of commanders have bodyguards in uniform.
Waste of resources or its lack of jobs?

Those don’t look like bodyguards to me. Have another look, they look like senior officers to me as observed from the red on the collar of one and the cape with gold or white signifying a senior officer on the other.

@Yambayamba you are right. The commandant is in charge of a specific division of the army. The commander is in charge of the entire army. In a war situation the ZNS commandant would take orders from the Army commander
