Honduran naval forces joined forces from Colombia and the U.S. to begin joint anti-drug trafficking military exercises this week.
The three-day drills are being carried out by the Honduran patrol ship “Tegucigalpa”, the Colombian National Army, and the U.S. Coast Guard vessel “Escanaba” on the Colombian island of San Andres.
The exercises include training Colombian navy coastguards and comparing notes on the fight against drug trafficking.
Twenty-six Honduran navy members and a vessel with radars, GPS and echo-sound devices are participating in the drills.
The U.S. vessel is equipped with a helicopter and high-technology tools, with 100 crew members aboard.
