A group of soldiers from the Haitian Armed Forces (FADH) departed for Martinique on Sunday as part of a French-led military training program aimed at strengthening defense skills and cooperation between Haiti and France. The initiative, announced by the French Embassy in Haiti, marks a renewed effort to enhance the operational readiness of Haitian troops through specialized training with the French Armed Forces.
The training, set to take place in Fort-de-France, includes modules on combat rescue, weapons handling, and urban combat.
