‘Strength through unity’, regional armed forces participate in UNEX’24

 

The Dominica contingent at the opening ceremony for UNEX’24

Unity Exercise 2024 (UNEX’24) is currently underway, marking a significant collaboration in military and police training. Hosted by Saint Lucia from April 2 to 13, the exercise encompasses both land and sea operations. Co-funded by the Regional Security System (RSS) and the European Union under the RSS 11th EDF Project, UNEX’24 aims to  evaluate the application of command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence within the RSS Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF). Furthermore, it seeks to assess the CJTF’s efficacy in coordinating resources for operations countering Transnational Organized Crime (CTOC) and Countering Terrorism (CT).

Participation in UNEX’24 is robust, with over 200 security and police officials from several nations involved. The roster includes representatives from  Antigua and Barbuda; Barbados; the Commonwealth of Dominica; Grenada; the Cooperative Republic of Guyana; St. Kitts and Nevis; St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Among the participants are various defense and police forces, emphasizing a unified approach to addressing security challenges in the region.

The exercise unfolds across selected areas in Gros Islet, Castries, and Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia. These locations were meticulously chosen to ensure the simulation of real-life experience while mitigating disruptions to the general public. By avoiding densely populated or heavily trafficked areas, organizers aim to minimize inconveniences while maximizing the effectiveness of the training scenarios.

UNEX’24 will focus on “Strength through unity.”

    I don’t know when this guy is going to stop making himself a Jacka.Teargas is for RIOT control.It makes no sense to teargas sleeping people in their house because the teargas will only cause them to leave the house.If teargas was used in Salisbury,it mean there was a RIOT in Salisbury.And Mr ahole Haiti is not a member of RSS,Dominica is.That is why when scumbags misbehave we have a right to call RSS to kick your A.They teargas a sleeping community,you sound so fxxxxxx stupid.

      Exactly what I expect from an imbecile, GARBAGE! WASTE MATTER!

      I was taught never to argue with a fool. He will pull you down to his level (in the mud) and beat you with experience.

          Had to be that pathetic numbskull. He can’t hide for he continues to use the two words he knows well from his severely limited vocabulary – Jacka and Ahole.

      Haiti may not be a member of the RSS but they are our Caribbean people and need help. All it takes is for the RSS country leaders to agree on deployment and sign the necessary frame work. This is no excuse! FYI, tear gas is not only for riots but also a weapon of war to “flush out” the enemy from their hiding places and also used in confined space as an instrument of torture.

      So to Labour Power, stop commenting on the things you know nothing about. Everytime you open your mouth it exposes you as a high-grade idiot.

    The RSS cannot defend at of the OECS member countries from an invasion of redeem forces. These Caribbean leaders use the RSS on the people they are entrusted to protect when they fall out of favour with the majority of their citizens.

    They came to Dominica and teargassed a sleeping community in the unholy hours of the night. They kidnapped a Trinitarian citizen from a hotel in Barbados. But they are too ills equipped and cowardly to assist in quelling the violence that is presently consuming Haiti. Schoolyard bullies they are.

      Haiti??? more like Capital Port Au Prince I think. Generalizing Haiti makes it difficult for the numerous communities that Haiti has. Discriminatory? Look at a Caribbean map and compare it to the islands. Then we understand the area of the island called Haiti.

    That is one of the reasons UWP will never get into government.They cannot win by the ballot and they cannot stage an overthrow.Although we Labourites do not need RSS to crush any attempted overthrow by UWP.
