The U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Michele Sison on Thursday presented certificates to the members of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) who completed an emergency medical training course provided by the U. S. Government. An embassy statement said the "training increases the capacity of the LAF Medical Command to offer health care." "The U.S. Government and the LAF are engaged in an active program of training and assistance designed to upgrade the capability of the LAF across a range of areas," the statement added. In her speech at the closing ceremony, Sison said that she "is impressed with the different training programs in which LAF soldiers take part." She added that "U.S. Government support to the LAF is an integral part of the overall U.S. assistance to Lebanon." Since 2006, the United States has committed 371 million dollars in security assistance to the LAF, and the United States will continue to provide equipment and training to the LAF, the statement added. It stressed: "The United States is committed to building the capabilities of the LAF and it will continue to support the government of Lebanon and the LAF as they continue their efforts to safeguard the peace, unity and sovereignty of Lebanon."
