 Missouri Guard provides support to Guyana Defense Force By Army Spc. Sarah  Lupescu
                Missouri National Guard
 JEFFERSON  CITY, Mo. - Subject matter experts from the Missouri Army National  Guard’s 35th Engineer Brigade traveled to Guyana this summer where they  conducted an assessment of the current state of the Guyana Defense Force’s  communications capabilities. Guyana  is a developing country located in the area of focus for U.S. Southern Command,  which oversees U.S. military operations there. The team of four Missouri  Guardsmen conducted annual training there where their mission included  assessing communication centers layouts, radio systems, installation power,  installation wiring, and installation antennas and towers. “The Communication Assessment  Team reviewed the current Guyana Defense Force radio communication  capabilities, identified strengths and weaknesses, and made recommendations to  improve GDF radio communication infrastructure and procedures,” said Army Maj.  Timothy Bock, the officer in charge of the communications team. The team evaluated eight  locations. The first stop was at the Guyana Defense Force Headquarters where  the team was briefed. They also covered a broad range of topics and future  communication projects aimed to modernize the Force’s communications equipment. “The assessment team  performed extremely well and provided viable and attainable solutions to the  GDF to build and sustain a solid radio communications infrastructure,” Bock  said. Missions with Army South help  with our Soldiers proficiency to assess situations, said Army Lt. Col. Amy L.  Clark, the 35th Engineer Brigade, Army South plans and operations liaison  officer. “It gives them opportunities  to dig deep into regulations and to work with new and old equipment,” added  Clark. The mission also provided for  a unique learning and team-building experience. It gave the Guard members an  opportunity to train in a different country and experience a new culture. “It was an honor to represent  the United States military, Army South, and the Missouri National Guard on this  joint team,” Bock said. “I have every confidence in the professionalism and  abilities of the Missouri National Guard Army and Air communicators. This mission  confirmed, once again, that confidence is placed well.” The  assessment refined the command, control, and communication goals of the GDF. It  also laid the foundation for building firm short and long-term growth goals. “Guyana was a success story,”  Clark said. “They were so pleased with what Missouri did.”
