GDF strengthen combat readiness after training with US security force

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) has concluded a month-long training engagement with the United States Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB), aimed at strengthening operational capacity and addressing key capability gaps within the Force.
In a social media post on Monday, the GDF said that as part of the collaboration, Officers and Ranks from selected units including the 5 Service Support Battalion, Medical Corps, Signal Corps, 4 Engineer Battalion, and the MT Pool underwent Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training. This training focused on enhancing emergency medical response and trauma care in combat scenarios, with the goal of improving the GDF’s ability to preserve life and maintain combat effectiveness in high-pressure environments.
The engagement further involved specialized support and practical training for key units identified as priorities for capacity enhancement.
“This timely and impactful collaboration has not only improved technical proficiency across participating units, but also reaffirmed the strong and enduring security cooperation between Guyana and the United States of America,” the GDF said.
