Caribbean Military Academy

A Summer of Learning. A Future of Possibilities. 🎓

As their summer internship at the Caribbean Military Academy comes to a close, we celebrate a vibrant trio (Sheriffa Cousins, André Anderson and Jodeen Henry) who embraced the opportunity to learn, contribute and gain valuable insights into life at the Academy.

Their experience included a special opportunity to meet the Chief of Defence Staff, as well as receive copies of the CDS’s memoir, presented by the Acting President of the CMA, Lieutenant Colonel Nadine Notice—a meaningful reminder of the value of leadership, service and the journeys that shape our future leaders.

We thank our interns for their enthusiasm, curiosity and contribution during their time with us and wish them every success as they take the lessons learned into their next chapter.

The internship may be over, but the journey of learning continues.

For five decades, the women of the Jamaica Defence Force have challenged convention, shattered barriers, and served with unwavering courage, leadership, and excellence.

Join us as we honour the pioneers, celebrate today's trailblazers, and inspire the next generation at the 50 Years of Women in the JDF Symposium.

Leadership is forged through discipline, resilience, and a commitment to excellence.

Recently promoted from Lance Corporal to Corporal, Corporal G. Mayne exemplifies these qualities through his service as both an accomplished boxer and dedicated instructor. Named the Caribbean Military Academy Sportsman of the Year 2025, he brings the discipline, focus, and determination of a champion into every aspect of his role.

By leading through example, Cpl Mayne continues to inspire the next generation of military professionals, proving that excellence is earned through consistency, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of growth.
Educate. Empower. Evolve.

Strengthening partnerships. Building capacity. Enhancing readiness.

The Jamaica Defence Force recently welcomed a delegation from the Institute for Security Governance (ISG) for a collaborative capacity-building engagement focused on logistics. Through knowledge sharing, discussions and practical exchanges, JDF logisticians explored strategies to strengthen their capabilities and enhance operational effectiveness.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to professional development, institutional excellence, and ensuring the JDF remains prepared to meet evolving operational demands.

On Sunday, 19 July 2026, a team from the School of Aviation deployed by air to Annotto Bay, St. Mary, to participate in the Jamaica Combined Cadet Force (JCCF) Open Day and Expo.

The engagement provided an excellent platform to inspire and educate cadets, students and members of the public on the role of military aviation within the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF). Visitors had the opportunity to view the aircraft up close, interact with aviation personnel and learn about aviation operations, humanitarian missions, and the diverse educational and career pathways available through the School of Aviation.

The School of Aviation's participation strengthened community engagement, reinforced the JDF's commitment to youth development, and encouraged the next generation to explore careers in military service and aviation.

The activity was successfully executed and positively received by all stakeholders.

The story continues.

Inspiring the next generation of potential aviation professionals.

On Friday, 17 July 2026, the Caribbean Military Academy's School of Aviation welcomed sixty-eight (68) students from the Jamaica College Aviation Summer Programme for an immersive tour of its training facilities.

From exploring training aircraft to gaining insight into aircraft maintenance and technical instruction, the students experienced firsthand the discipline, innovation and excellence that define aviation training at the School.

By opening its doors to young minds, the School of Aviation continues to strengthen its partnership with educational institutions while inspiring future leaders to pursue careers in aviation.
