Thirty-five U.S. military cadets recently graduated from a training phase at the Colonel Robert Mitchell Jungle and Amphibious Training School (CRMJATS), Makouria, Essequibo.
A release from the US Embassy yesterday said that under the guidance of the CRMJATS leadership,
the cadets received training and familiarization on a broad range of survival skills. This phase ended with a 48-hour exercise that tested the cadets’ mental fortitude, personal courage, and newly acquired skill sets. The release said that the cadets had previously completed joint training with Guyana Defence Force cadets at the Colonel John Clarke Military School at Tacama, Berbice.
The release added that the Adjutant General of the Florida National Guard, Major General Emmett Titshaw, U.S. Army Cadet Command, in conjunction with the Military Liaison Office of the U.S. Embassy in Guyana, recommended Guyana as a venue for the Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency (CULP) Program in July 2013, and the Florida National Guard was grateful for the Guyana Defence Force’s willingness to host the programme.
