PAPUA New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) information and communications technology officers have learnt much through the 2019 Pacific Endeavour Communications Exercise, chief of force preparation Col Siale Diro says.
He said senior communicators and generals from 21 nations from the Indo-Asia Pacific region participated in the multinational military exercise and it was a privilege for PNG to co-host it this year.
He said the programme was tremendous as it was the largest multinational military exercise that the PNGDF had hosted and thanked the US military for its sponsorship over the years and the opportunities.
“Being a part of this programme is critical to maintaining our capability, skills and knowledge in communication during times of humanitarian aid and disaster relief mission assistance in the region,” he said.
“The men and women of our defence force, particularly our young ICT and communications officers who participated learnt a great deal.”
