The Guyana Defence Force has launched its Field Tactical Exercise, Homeguard, with troops moving into the Exercise Area located in the jungles and savannahs of Ituni and Tacama (Regions 10 and 6). The Exercise will culminate on August 26.
According to the GDF, the Exercise is designed to assess the GDF troops in simulations of battle for Close Country Warfare (CCW) and Open Country Warfare (OCW).
It will also be utilising all available resources and pitting the troops against a simulated enemy, in order to validate training at all levels.
The GDF said Exercise Homeguard comes ten months on the heels of the successfully completed Exercise Greenheart which was conducted in Region Seven last November.
“These Exercises are all part of the continuous training for the Officers and Ranks of the GDF, and are also designed to enable them to test theories and develop new strategies related to how OCW and CCW can best be executed.”
