THE cadets currently undergoing training on the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Standard Officer Course, Number 51, successfully completed “EXERCISE RATTRAP” at Watooka, Linden.

Exercise Rattrap is an internal security training exercise designed to prepare troops for any internal threat. The exercise culminated with a cordon and search drill.

Inspector General, Colonel Trevor Bowman, was on hand for the exercise. At the conclusion, he told the troops that their training was essential as the Force always needs to be ready to respond to any internal threat at short notice.

He urged them to remain professional and congratulated them on their successful completion of this final exercise before their promotion to ensigncy.
