The United States of America (USA) is currently collaborating with Ghana to strengthen regional security.
The US Embassy announced this through its social media platforms.
The Embassy said its Deputy Chief of Mission, Nicole Chulick visited Tamale this week to meet with members of the Ghana Armed Forces.
Per the details available, the US says it was providing support and training to the Ghana Armed Forces.
“The U.S. and Ghana are working together to strengthen regional security. Deputy Chief of Mission Nicole Chulick was in Tamale this week to meet with @official_gafmil and members of the @USAfricaCommand #SFAB providing support and training to the #GAF. @SETAF_Africa,” the US Embassy in Ghana announced in a tweet on Wednesday, October 27.
In August this year, the USS Hershel “Woody” Williams visited Tema port and supported regional maritime security efforts from August 3 – August 16.
After these engagements, Ambassador Stephanie S. Sullivan invited the Ghanaian government and military dignitaries for a ship tour led by Captain Chad Graham, commanding officer of USS Hershel “Woody” Williams.
Ministry of Defense officials, Ghana Navy officers, and Members of Parliament toured the ship and viewed a flight deck demonstration of the ship’s casualty and medical response capabilities.
USS Hershel “Woody” Williams is the first warship permanently assigned to the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility.
The U.S. shares a common interest with African partner nations in ensuring security, safety, and freedom of navigation on the waters surrounding the continent because these waters are critical for Africa’s prosperity and access to global markets.
The ship is a highly flexible platform that may be used across a broad range of military operations. Acting as a mobile sea base, it is part of the critical access infrastructure that supports the deployment of forces and supplies.
In that same month, members of Ghana’s Special Boat Squadron joined the crew on the Hershel “Woody” Williams to participate in a maritime security capabilities exercise with partners in the Gulf of Guinea.
