By Zoila Palma: On November 13, 2026, a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter landed at the Sarstoon Forward Operating Base for a visit of U.S. Ambassador Andre Bauer and Minister of National Security Michel Chebat.
“The United States is committed to defeating narcoterrorists and upholding the rule of law in the Western Hemisphere. Today, Ambassador Bauer and Minister of National Security Michel Chebat saw firsthand how Belize’s partnership in the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition supports our shared mission to keep the region safe, secure, and prosperous,” the U.S. Embassy said.
CEO in the Ministry of National Security Francis Usher said that 3 U.S. black hawks out of Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras are in Belize.
Usher added that the helicopters come in to Belize at times for training.
“Well, one of our best bilateral partners is the U.S. From time to time you get Black Hawks or Chinooks from Honduras that come in sometimes for training exercises, just sometimes to remind the general public that the Belize and the U.S. are allies and partners. And there were plans to do a tour of the border, different OPs yesterday, but weather did not permit. There are plans to accomplish that in the future aboard the U.S. helicopters. But they are here simply to demonstrate that we are… we have a great relationship. We are allies. We are partners,” Usher said.
