At the closing ceremony, Commanding Officer of the 31 Special Forces Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Loring Benons, cautioned the graduates against carelessness, overconfidence and shortcuts, stressing the consequences of lapses in a discipline where precision and adherence to procedure are essential.
“In this field, there is no room for carelessness, overconfidence or shortcuts. The smallest oversight can have serious consequences. This qualification is not the end of your learning, but the beginning of a continuing responsibility to remain proficient,” he stated.
These newly qualified paratroopers expand the Guyana Defence Force’s pool of personnel trained for airborne operations. Sustaining their proficiency will be essential to ensuring that this capability remains available to support the Force’s operational requirements.
