The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) is undergoing a strategic transformation to better serve the nation’s security needs and uphold its constitutional mandate. Guided by a comprehensive organisational analysis, the Force is working to become a modern, professional, and capable military aligned with national priorities.
Key Focus Areas:
- Modernisation: Building a distinct Army, Air Corps, and Coast Guard structure, supported by advanced planning, intelligence, and logistics.
- Professionalism: Promoting an apolitical, constitutionally loyal force rooted in discipline, merit, and transparency.
- National Security: Enhancing border and maritime defence, internal stability, and disaster response readiness.
- Community Engagement: Expanding youth programmes and fostering stronger civil-military relations across the country.
- Future Vision: Investing in training, technology, and partnerships to position the GDF as a respected regional force.
This transformation reflects the GDF’s commitment to defending Guyana’s sovereignty, supporting national development, and strengthening public trust.
