"Traditionally,
the US military has built one or two schools per year in Belize. This
year is special. ‘New Horizons’ is the largest US military civic action
training exercise in the Western Hemisphere in 1997. The project is a
fulfillment of President Clinton’s promise to work together with Prime
Minister Esquivel and other partners in the region to improve educational
and economic infrastructure."
--George Bruno, US Ambassador to Belize
Description:
New Horizons '97 Belize was a "joint-combined field training engineer
and medical exercise" held from January 18 to June 7, 1997. The exercise
was coordinated by U.S. Southern Command (Southcom)
