EIGHTEEN young men and women from the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) Rangers graduated from the Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Corporation’s (AMMC) Historical Military Re-enactment Programme at Fort Charlotte this month.
During the graduation, Rangers were dressed in uniform worn by British West India Regiment soldiers during the 1700s as they performed a re-enactment of the Changing of the Guard Ceremony.
Dr Keith Tinker, Director, AMMC, and Captain Tellis Bethel, Commander Defence Force (Acting), encouraged the graduates to take advantage of the opportunities made available to them through the Historical Military programmes.
The programme is a partnership between AMMC and the RBDF Rangers organisation.
Capt Bethel said: “This event is proof positive that our ‘Weapons of Mass Construction’ are effecting positive change; and that when we take care of our youth, our youth will help take care of our nation.”
The newly graduated Rangers will be employed by AMMC with responsibility for conducting tours, performing military re-enactments and assisting with security at Fort Charlotte.
