• Tactical operations in urban and rural environments;

• Intelligence;

Through this training, Colombia reaffirms its role as an ally of Haiti and its ongoing commitment to supporting initiatives that contribute to strengthening security, peace, and stability in the country, through constructive, respectful, and mutually beneficial technical cooperation.
