US military cadets complete jungle training

Forty two U.S. military cadets completed a training course at the Colonel Robert Mitchell Jungle and Amphibious Training School (CRMJATS) in Essequibo as part of the Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency (CULP) Program. A release from the US embassy today said that under the guidance of the CRMJATS leadership, the cadets received training and familiarization on a broad range of survival skills. This training phase culminated with a 48-hour exercise that tested the cadets’ mental fortitude, personal courage, and newly acquired skill sets. These cadets had previously completed joint training with the Guyana Defence Force cadets at the Colonel John Clarke Military School (CJCMS) located in Tacama. (US Embassy photo)
