Work has started on repairs to the access road and the road network in and around Base Camp Seweyo, where a United States (US) military team will be stationed during Exercise New Horizons 2019, which is a joint training exercise with the Guyana Defence Force (GDF).
In a statement issued yesterday, the GDF said local troops and communities stand to benefit from the skills of the US team during the joint exercise.
The statement noted that Exercise New Horizons is an annual US Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) sponsored exercise that is designed to enhance joint humanitarian assistance between the US Military and partner nations in Central and South America as well as the Caribbean.
