On Sun­day 13 No­vem­ber 2022, thir­ty (30) mem­bers of the Trinidad and To­ba­go De­fence Force were de­ployed to par­tic­i­pate in the Mar­tinique Com­man­do Ex­change Course 2022 (MCEC22) which is sched­uled to take place from the 14-25 No­vem­ber 2022 at the Nau­ti­cal and For­est Train­ing Cen­tre in Mar­tinique.

The MCEC22 is in­tend­ed to build on bi­lat­er­al re­la­tion­ships be­tween the Trinidad and To­ba­go De­fence Force and the French Armed Forces in the Caribbean to strength­en mil­i­tary co­op­er­a­tion through the ap­pli­ca­tion of ex­change train­ing.

The train­ing ex­er­cis­es con­duct­ed at the MCEC22 will al­low mem­bers of the TTDF to ben­e­fit from the knowl­edge and ex­per­tise of their French coun­ter­parts in the con­duct of mil­i­tary op­er­a­tions which will be of ben­e­fit to the De­fence Force and the wider pop­u­la­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go.
