19 officers to participate in GDF senior management training programme

Nineteen officers from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) will soon be embarking on a 12 week Senior Command and Staff Course which will allow them to be versed in several areas including communication, tactics in open and close country warfare, military law, history, administration, and logistics.
During the opening ceremony which was held on July 16, last, officers were charged by Chief-of-Staff, Brigadier Godfrey Bess, to become critical thinkers by going beyond the digestion of materials presented in the modules.
“You must do that in order to be the quality of senior officers the GDF needs for its future development. You must therefore become critical thinkers. Learn to deconstruct ideas and concepts in order to gain the fruit of knowledge contained therein,” Brigadier Bess expressed.
Highlighting the significance of the capstone military course, Bess emphasized that the course in itself is exemplified by its terminal objective to train officers to function as unit commanders and senior staff officers through the full spectrum of military operations. These functions, he noted, are grounded in the skills and knowledge to be acquired throughout the duration of the course.
“We are the guardians of Guyana’s patrimony, including her territorial integrity, and her safety and security. We are operating in the 21st century and you must gear your minds and harness your energies to deliver 21st century service to our nation and her people…,” Bess stated.
Once completed, the officers will be one step closer in the pursuit of Senior Command and Management positions.
