As joint training exercises between the US Marine Corps’ 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and the T&T Defence Force were set to begin today, several government ministers and senior military officials remained tight-lipped about the details of the operation.
However, multiple Defence Force sources told Guardian Media that even senior officers had not been briefed on the exercises or their scope.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one source said that as of Saturday morning, neither he nor other senior officers had received any information and first heard about the exercises from Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Sean Sobers during a media briefing on Friday.
