Texas Soldiers Train Honduran Military

“SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras - Soldiers from the Texas Army National Guard’s 36th Infantry Division trained with an elite group of Honduran military professionals Sept. 11-13.

Members of the 143rd Infantry Detachment (Long Range Surveillance) supported the training and mentoring program of U.S. Army South by joining their Honduran counterparts for weapons familiarization and urban tactics.

“When people think of USARSO, they think of humanitarian missions because that’s what everybody sees,” said Maj. Clarence Henderson, plans officer. “That’s great, but also these coalition training missions is where the high payoff is found. It’s simple Army talk. Soldiers share their common goals and problems and find out that they aren’t that different from one another.”"
