The leadership from the United States Army 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) met yesterday and today as part of the United States and Guyana’s strong military to military partnership.
A release from the US Embassy said that the U.S. and Guyana defence forces discussed upcoming engagements to include strategic planning sessions and processes to enhance both countries’ military readiness and capabilities to respond to security threats.
The SFAB is a specialized unit of the U.S. Army established to advise and assist partner nations.
Since 2022, the SFAB has conducted several joint training exercises with the GDF to strengthen their capacity and capability at the tactical and operational levels, the release said.
The visit comes in the wake of high tensions between Guyana and Venezuela over Caracas’ plans to hold a referendum on this country’s Essequibo county.
The SFAB Advisors stated, “We are thankful for the opportunity to train with the Guyana Defense Force as our partners and friends. We look forward to deepening the partnership in the weeks and months to come.”
