American military engineers are in Grenada fixing coast guard boats this week. A specialized U.S. Southern Command team, called the CBSI TAFT, arrived at the Grenadian government's request. The group includes engineers and logistics experts from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Army. They are working with the local police force and coast guard personnel to repair maritime assets originally provided by the United States.
The U.S. Embassy stated this cooperation shows Grenada's focus on being operationally ready. It also highlights the strong partnership between the two countries on regional safety. The assistance falls under the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative, a program aimed at fighting trafficking and improving security. American officials expressed gratitude for the chance to collaborate directly with Grenadian partners.
