United States Ambassador to Guyana, Sarah-Ann Lynch says that the just concluded Tradewinds 2021 military exercise provide a unique opportunity for participating nations to improve inter-operability and effectively execute missions together.

“At the Jungle and Amphibious Training School, I saw first-hand how our nations learned from each other about everything from executing tactical operations to mapping strategic manoeuvres,” she stated at the closing ceremony held on Friday at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence.

The Ambassador further lauded the exercise for adding a new component to the training, which highlighted the role that women play in conflict prevention, conflict management and conflict resolution.
