On Friday, April 9, U.S. Southern Command donated a C-26A maritime patrol aircraft spare engine to the Regional Security System (RSS) Air Wing, as well as additional aviation spare parts including gyros, landing actuators, and navigational transponders. The donation, which is valued at approximately US$750,000, is part of the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) Foreign Military Financing Program and was led by U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown with support from US Army Fixed Wing Program Office and U.S. Army Security Assistance Command. Since March 2020, the RSS has also flown multiple weekly COVID-19 relief support flights, transporting test kits and supplies for CARPHA, CDEMA and other regional organizations.
