The Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs wishes to advise the public that the USS Gravely (DDG-107) will visit Trinidad and Tobago from October 26 to 30, mooring in Port of Spain, while the 22nd U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit will conduct joint training with the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) during the same period. The U.S. military services’ presence in Trinidad and Tobago highlights the U.S. commitment to regional security and cooperative efforts in the Caribbean.
The visit strengthens U.S.-Trinidad and Tobago military-to-military cooperation through expert exchanges focused on core infantry tactics, maintenance procedures, and advanced medical capabilities, leveraging the TTDF’s facilities to enhance tactical proficiency and enhance mutual trust. These efforts strengthen interoperability, reinforce long-term defense cooperation, and improve operational readiness among partner forces.
