Belize’s Landscape Provides Ideal Training Ground For Trade Winds 2022

Major James Suber

Trade Winds 2022 will come to an end on Thursday of this week with a joint exercise at the Police Training Academy in Belmopan. Plans are already in the works for Trade Winds 2023 which will be hosted by Guyana.  Major Suber told us about the advantage Belize’s landscape offered as one of the host nations of Trade Winds 2022.

“First of all it is a beautiful country, absolutely amazing people, great experience to be a part of. Your landscape offers great terrain for us to train, because it offers a lot of different terrain. We have the ability to get a lot of quality training. It is not just a straight open field. You have a little bit of open terrain. We have a little bit of hills. We have a lot of jungle environment; the maritime environment is there, with some of the river systems. And of course, the offshore cayes that offer up training for some of the dive teams as well. So, I think it is an optimal spot to get a holistic training with our partner forces.”
