Ranks of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and the Guyana Police Force are perfecting a range of skills, including close quarters combat, in the US Southern Command-sponsored Tradewinds 21 military exercise.
The exercise, which started on June 13th and runs until June 25th, features contingents from the US, UK, France and other countries and the media were taken on a tour yesterday of the various exercises.
Since the start of the programme, GDF ranks have been able to benefit from training in the areas of marksmanship, emergency medical evacuation, search, rescue and recover responses and mechanical and engineering repairs for both air and water transportation, among other things.
