 Advance visit by Rear Admiral
Trafficking in narcotics and people; natural disasters; security and defence – issues which are significant within the Organisation of American States (OAS) – are high on the agenda when Rear Admiral Martha Herb, Director, Inter-American Defense College (IADC) returns to Trinidad and Tobago with her class in April.
The Rear Admiral was in the country in mid-February and paid a courtesy call to PVC and Campus Principal, Professor Clement Sankat, where she told him that this was actually an advance visit before her class arrives under an arrangement with the T&T Government and the Defence Force.
The IADC operates under the aegis and funding of the OAS and the Inter-American Defense Board. It provides a professionally oriented, multidisciplinary, graduate-level course of study over an eleven-month programme, giving students opportunities to travel abroad and to study security issues.
