Military members from seven countries joined up to take part in Fast Rope Insertion and Extraction System (FRIES) training at Air Base London, Guyana, on July 17, 2023. Participants included people from Mexico, the Dominican Republic, St Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize and Guyana. They fast-roped from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter to simulate a safe and effective way of inserting and removing personnel to and from specific locations where landing an aircraft safely would be difficult or impossible. The training was part of Exercise TRADEWINDS23, a U.S. Army South-sponsored multinational partnership-building exercise designed to build capabilities and interoperability with Caribbean nations and American partner nations
