Urban warfare.
WILLEMSTAD--A French military platoon from Martinique concluded its exercises in Curaçao last week. The troops are part of the 2nd Company of the 33rd Marine Infantry Regiment (33 Rima), which is based at Fort Desaix.
They trained alongside the boat platoon and Curaçao Militia CurMil.
During the exercise with the boat platoon, the troops practised various amphibious skills. They trained in transferring between vessels at different speeds and executed landings from the water.
The programme concluded with a scenario focusing on movement and rapid withdrawal. Additionally, joint training with CurMil took place at the former St. Elisabeth Hospital Sehos, where soldiers practised various tactical skills geared towards operations in urban environments.
The training serves as an example of cooperation between the two partners. By collaborating, exchanging knowledge and experience, the military units strengthen their ties and enhance their joint operational capabilities.
This collaboration contributes to the strong relationships among military partners in the region. Sharing knowledge and conducting joint training are vital for supporting regional security and stability.
