ST VINCENT AND THE GREANDINES—Lindsey Lowinski, a Westfield, Massachusetts native, is supporting the Tradewinds exercise this year for US Southern Command as the Interagency Coordinator.
Lowinski, who has been with SOUTHCOM for three years now, says she’s really enjoying being able to support the event for a second time. The previous experience allowed her to learn the ropes in preparation for this year’s event.
“I worked Tradewinds 2018 in St. Kitts, and it really allowed me to identify areas where we could inject improvements for next time,” said Lowinski.
This year, Tradewinds will take place in three phases. The first phase will take place in the Dominican Republic May 30 – June 8. The second phase will take place in St. Vincent and the Grenadines June 14-21. The final phase will take place in Doral, Florida July 16-18.
Tradewinds, sponsored by U.S. Southern Command, is a joint, multinational, and interagency training exercise focused on building increased regional cooperation in complex multinational security operations, as well as humanitarian assistance and disaster response operations.
Nations participating in the exercise include Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Canada, Colombia, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, France, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, the Netherlands, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom and the United States.
