Successful completion of the National Humanitarian Demining Monitor I-2025

Within the framework of the Training and Technical Assistance Cooperation Agreement between the General Command of the Military Forces and the Inter-American Defense Board (JID in Spanish), with the support of instructors from the Inter-American Technical Advisors Group (GATI-CO in Spanish), conducted the I-2025 National Humanitarian Demining Monitor Course.

This course aims to train officers and non-commissioned officers of the Armed Forces as National Humanitarian Demining Monitors, ensuring quality in monitoring, auditing and accreditation of demining activities in areas with the presence of explosive ordnance. Through their training, participants strengthen their professional development and improve their skills in the knowledge, use and execution of critical processes.

During two months, six non-commissioned officers of the National Army and one non-commissioned of the Marine Infantry received their certification after successfully completing the demanding training process. With their arduous training, they become agents of change that contribute to the security of the population and open paths towards a future free of explosive threats.

With each new certified monitor, the mission of a mine-free country is strengthened, reaffirming Colombia's commitment to peace, security and the protection of its people.
