At least 45 Malawi Defence Force (MDF) marines and boat crewmen have completed a one month long training organized under the Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET) conducted by instructors from the US Navy seal.

After officially closing the training, MDF chief of training brigadier General George Phiri described the training as important for MDF marines, saying they had acquired special skills to operate on land and water.

“Under the JCET, we have many types of training that we do including redeployment, but this training was special one specifically for the marines,” said Phiri.

Phiri added; “The U.S. operators have trained the MDF Marines on vessel boarding and seizure, infiltration, amphibious operations and urban movement techniques”

Phiri also expressed gratitude for the support which Malawi gets from the US in areas of training.
