For 2 weeks, the BDF, along with the Belize Coast Guard, trained the Army to do difficult casualty evacuations in the jungle around Cayo. It was a synergystic excercise.
"In addition to the formal training, both groups spent some time enjoying the intricacies of the jungle during a 24-hour jungle immersion exercise. 'It was awesome living off the jungle,' said Chappell. 'You just had to go into the jungle, chop your way in and build a hut and live in that with absolutely nothing except some bread and water. We even ate termites.'
'This has been a great experience,' said Sgt. Christopher Pizano, the noncommissioned officer in charge, or NCOIC, for the medical section of Army South's HHBN. 'Everyone brings their own expertise to the group and it's been a great experience working with them. They have taught us a lot about how to survive in the jungle. There has been no other training that I have seen that has been able to replicate something like this.'"

Feelgood news of the day. The Beyond the Horizon team had the inauguration of the new school building at St. Matthew's. The BTH crew also expanded the Western Regional Hospital. Thanks, BTH, and Godspeed!
"The new 1700 square foot school building has three separate rooms and is built to withstand Category 5 hurricane winds. The project also includes a new bathroom facility with three bathroom stalls, sinks, and a new septic tank. The teams completed the project ahead of schedule, allowing for additional projects of opportunity, including a new playground area and a wooden deck linking the existing building’s classrooms.
The new school building was built by U.S. Service Men and Women from the reserve component and the National Guard, hailing from Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Montana, Texas, Wisconsin, and Colorado. The project provided the specialists the opportunity to train in their military occupations during six rotations of two-week long deployments. Reservists from the 448th Engineer Battalion out of Fort Buchanan in San Juan, Puerto Rico, provided the core management team, overseeing the duration of the project.
BTH is a collaborative training exercise between U.S. Army South, the Belize Defence Force (BDF), the Ministries of Defence, Health, and Education, as well as partner nations, such as Trinidad and Tobago and Colombia. The project also includes numerous NGOs and private companies from the United States and Belize.
Valued at USD $11.5 million, BTH furthers the U.S. Government’s continued commitment to the Government and people of Belize. BTH enhances health and education infrastructure and provides free medical services across Belize. The exercise consisted of five construction projects and three events offering free general medical and dental services across Belize. BTH started on March 25, 2017 and is scheduled to end on June 15, 2017."
