| A month ago, we showed you how the United States Marines Corps trained 16 officers from the Coast Guard to become part of a new infantry marine division. The goal was to prepare them with modern skills and techniques, the kind that the Marines have used to become one of the most respected fighting forces in the world.
Well, for the last 4 weeks, they've been doing something similar for the Belize Defence Force, and today, 21 Belizean soldiers graduated from a regiment in weapons handling, hand-to-hand combat, and marksmanship.
We stopped by the graduation and met the newly trained soldiers. Here's what their Chief of Staff had to say about their progress through the program:
This the 5th group of soldiers to be trained by the US Marines in this program.
