The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) holds a graduation parade for a new cohort of soldiers after they complete the Basic Recruit Course (BRC) 2026-01 at the Colonel John Clarke Military School (CJCMS) in Tacama. The graduation takes place on August 13, marking the formal end of the recruits’ initial training.
The reports say the course begins on April 27 and is intended to prepare recruits for service. INews Guyana adds that the Army’s leadership tells the new soldiers to be ready to operate in an evolving defence environment, framing the training as a foundation for adapting to changing operational demands. Guyana Chronicle focuses on the graduation as the latest step in strengthening the GDF’s ranks, highlighting the successful completion of the basic recruit programme and the setting of Tacama’s CJCMS.
