Two GDF officers serving as part of UN Security Council team

Two officers from the GDF have taken up key roles as part of the Permanent Mission of  Guyana to the United Nations.

Earlier this week, Guyana took up its seat as an elected member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for a two-year term. A release from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) said that Major (Maj) Sven Douglas and Captain (Capt) Texine Daw are the two Officers who will serve on the team.

Douglas, a graduate of the Standard Officer Course (SOC 40), has to date accumulated 16 years of service to the Force and has completed all the military prerequisites for his rank. He possesses diverse military training, having previously served at the Training Corps and various roles at the 1 Infantry Battalion, the release said. He has also functioned as part of the directing staff for the Senior Command and Staff Course, which is designed for Officers being prepared to hold command appointments. His role as an Intelligence Officer also complements his military service.
