Colonel Benjamin highlighted ongoing training efforts aimed at enhancing the proficiency of their personnel in basic soldier skills.
He emphasized the importance of readiness within the force, particularly in the context of potential operations in Haiti.
“We have also been training on what we refer to as basic soldier skills, ensuring that there is greater proficiency among our professionals within the force,” stated Colonel Benjamin.
He further elaborated on the regional framework for training in preparation for potential missions in Haiti, indicating that Antigua and Barbuda’s military is actively participating in these preparatory activities.
“There is a regional framework for training in terms of preparation for Haiti, and so we are a part of that process,” Colonel Benjamin noted.
Regarding the specific timeline for focused training related to Haiti, Colonel Benjamin mentioned that it is contingent upon directives from the political leadership.
“We are in the chute, so to speak, waiting on the opportunity to begin our focused training for that event, but that is obviously dependent on the direction of the political directorate,” he explained.
Haiti has struggled to resolve a long-running political and humanitarian crisis and 80 percent of Port-au-Prince is currently controlled by gangs, according to UN estimates.
Inside the country, few safe spaces remain. All roads leading out of Port-au-Prince these days have been blocked by gangs. National police have fought back but with limited resources.
All access to ports and the international airport has been blocked.

I think you need some oxygen, your brain cells seem to be experiencing a shortage of it, take deep breaths.
The person made a comment about what they think caricom should/shouldn’t do. That’s their personal opinion, they never said anything specific about Antigua either, so I don’t see why you are barking up that coconut tree. Caricom, I may remind you is a grouping of several nations within this region.
Glad to see that you hate Antigua/Antiguans so much that you have chosen to live here/decided not to migrate, or at the very least follow Antigua news.
No go and get some cool breeze outside.
