President David Granger on Thursday said he was assured by the performance of troops during the week-long field tactical exercise ‘Homeguard’ that the Guyana Defence Force remains ready to fulfil its mission.
“Exercise ‘Homeguard’ is a reaffirmation and reassurance to the Guyana Defence Board, some members of which are present today, that the Force is properly commanded and ready to fulfil its mission. Exercise ‘Homeguard,’ through the training and tactical prowess that you have displayed so competently and convincingly, is a source of comfort to our citizens. They can rest secure in the knowledge that you stand watch over our motherland, securing it danger,” the Commander–in-Chief said at the Tacama Training Area (TTA), Berbice River, where the exercise was concluded.
