07:08 GMT, March 7, 2012 WASHINGTON | A special operations exercise under way in Guyana is enhancing capabilities of both U.S. and Guyanese special operators and ensuring they have a foundation to respond together in the event of a common threat.

Exercise Fused Response kicked off March 1 and continues through March 9, bringing together about 300 U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines with about 200 members of the Guyana Defense Forces, Navy Lt. Cdr. Ron Ralls, the lead planner, told American Forces Press Service.

The bilateral exercise, the largest of its kind in the Western hemisphere and with Guyanas military this year, includes both field training and command post components. A full schedule of combined and joint training focuses heavily on communications, staff planning, reconnaissance and other military skills.

The goal, Ralls explained, is to develop better understanding about how the two countries forces operate so they can share best practices and, if required, work together more seamlessly.

We have been training and doing exercises with the Guyana Defense Forces for many years, but this is the first time we have had an exercise of this scope with them, he said. It increases our ability to work with each other [and] know each others capabilities, which enhances our ability to work together in any circumstance.

That ability is critical, he said, in standing up to whats recognized as the paramount threat in the region: transnational organized crime and illicit trafficking of drugs, humans and other contraband.

This is a threat to everyone, Ralls said, noting that the criminals involved and operate without regard to national borders or legal constraints.

In contrast, the regional nations striving to stand up to these threats are far less resourced, he noted. So its a pretty daunting challenge when the criminal organization has more influence than the country that is trying to fight it, he said.

Recognizing that transnational challenges require international cooperation, planners view exercises like Fused Response as an opportunity to build capability within partner nations defense forces and, in some cases, their law enforcement agencies.

Enhancing their capability goes a long way toward the overall goal of trying to reduce or stop these organizations from being able to operate freely, Ralls said. It ensures that for any threat they may go up against, they will be more efficient and better prepared.
