Training by side-by-side to save lives! 🇺🇸🫱🏼‍🫲🏽🇹🇹

This week, U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago security forces successfully concluded a four-day Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) exchange at Teteron Barracks. Participants from the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) and interagency partners worked together through intense, realistic trauma scenarios—focusing on casualty assessment, treatment, and evacuation.

The exchange was co-instructed by a U.S. Special Operations Combat Medic and a previously trained TTDF Special Operations member. This training is a perfect example of how our strong military cooperation builds sustainable, expert training capacity. Congratulations to all the participants on a successful exchange!

Kudos to Fulbright U.S. Scholar Dr. Catherine Cox, who provided guidance to the University of the Southern Caribbean (USC) Bachelor of Science in Nursing program to help the University earn the U.S. Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) distinction.
USC is the first university in the English-speaking Caribbean to achieve this milestone. The accreditation allows graduates of the USC program to apply for an advanced nursing degree in the USA without further prerequisites. It also allows them for the first time to take the U.S. National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to practice nursing in the USA, elevating the field in Trinidad and Tobago, and demonstrating American leadership in global health education.

Americans residing in Trinidad and Tobago or planning to visit over the next few months need to be mindful that it is Hurricane season in Trinidad and Tobago. The Atlantic hurricane season is from June to November. Minor storms can quickly become major storms, limiting the time you have to evacuate.

Faith. Freedom. Dialogue. Our Freedom 250 discussion series continued last Friday at the American Center with a compelling conversation on Religious Freedom and the right of every individual to believe, practice, and express their faith freely. Thank you to all who joined us for this important dialogue.

Next stop USA! 🇺🇸
