Soldiers from the North West of England have been in Central America passing on training techniques to their counterparts in the Belize Defence Force.
Personnel from the 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment are helping the BDF ensure its future junior leaders become great trainers in their own right.
Working out of British Army Training Support Unit Belize at the country’s Price Barracks, and nearby Hattieville Ranges, staff from 2 LANCS Dettingen Company delivered patrol tests, navigation skills and mapping techniques to 36 BDF soldiers each with the potential to become a junior non-commissioned officers (JNCO). But all that was secondary to ensuring the soldiers learn how to teach their skills to others.
Captain Danny Shal, from the BDF training team, said: “This is where it all starts for them; where we teach them things they need to know as soldiers. It is the start of a career path that could take any of them to the role of Sergeant Major.”
Demand to get on the British-run course was high – 50 applicants were turned away. Captain Rogelio Ramirez, Officer Commanding the BDF’s Training Company, explained why: “We have a lot of partner nations who come and assist us with training, but our doctrine is based on the British Army’s so your training is relevant to what we do. Also, because of the operational commitments your guys have done, we are now seeing how that doctrine needs to be updated.”
The work takes places in humid conditions and temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius. Lt Josh Sanders, the 2 LANCS officer in command of the training team, said: “The standards we expect from the BDF candidates are exactly those we would expect if we were running this for our own soldiers in the UK. What we’ve been able to deliver here has exceeded our expectations because we share the same basic Army doctrines.”
Brigadier General David Jones, Commander of the BDF, has worked hard since his appointment in 2012 to strengthen the military links between the two nations. Through his meetings with senior British Army staff and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, British Army training programmes are now being re-established in Belize.
Brig Jones said: “We have a lot of operational tasks that we have to maintain. The best way we can achieve success in those is by giving our soldiers the best training opportunities, and I believe those are through the British Army. Our soldiers have been instructed by our own JNCOs, but the instruction they get from the British is different; the British have served in different operations and conflicts to our personnel and their experience is what we need. Our soldiers enjoy this training, they say it’s very professional and they’d like more of it.”
As a result of this early success, further British Army supported courses are planned for later this year and 2017.
Capt Ramirez concluded: “It’s very beneficial for our soldiers to be working with the British but it’s also beneficial for the British too: we offer great experience of operating in the jungle – even the most junior soldier has been posted there.” So, while the eight-strong 2 LANCS Dettingen Company training team are carrying out their teaching role, 120 of their colleagues from the battalion’s Blenheim Company are undergoing their own five week tropical test – learning jungle warfare techniques from the BDF trainers.

Mine is season 5 because of all the romance and drama between bloom and sky, and if you want to know my least favorite, season 4, I don't know why just never really cared that much for it.
Million Dollar Question: Was it worth me schlepping/hauling/dragging (by the end of the day) a hefty tripod and two cameras through three enormous pavillons during Retrombile 2023?
2 Cent Answer: Yes.

You ask me, "Do you still love me?" I ask you, "Does the sea ever dry?" And we go on answering questions with questions and lies.

My IA Story:
I was studying Marketing at University of Alberta when I decided to go on a limb and take a coop posting as a Web Publisher in the neighbouring province of Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan, being the heart of the great white north, offered the prospect of adventure... and besides, it was only 4 months, right?
At the time I had a fascination with media, which was why I was taking marketing, and I thought this job would be a good chance to learn more about the internet. One of the questions in my job interview was "what search engine would you use to research something on the internet?" I scored big points with my answer of "Google" - back then google was still a bit of an insiders secret.
Time went on & I began to enjoy my stay in Saskatchewan. The lack of spectacle (in the Guy Debord sense) meant that people found ways to make their own fun. My 4 month work term eventually became 12 months. I took delight in riding polar bears to and from work every day... that's how we do things up here in Canada when our cars don't start.
Not that the job was that great really. There were two things in particular that characterized the work for me... First, it took forever to upload a simple text page to the public server, leaving me with frequent periods of 5 minutes at a time staring at a blank screen. Second, our job was simply to get the content up there, nevermind presenting it in a way that it could be understood. Neither of these were particularly great for my sanity - both of them frustrated me beyond dimension. I started scribbling little notes by my desk with things like "computers do not understand facial expressions."
One day I walked into my boss' office to find a sleek looking book on her desk. "Oh, what's this?" I asked. It was a paperback, a mostly black cover with red and white text. The synopsis of the book started on the front, and dropped off unexpectedly, continuing on the back. At once I had a feeling about this book - you might even call it love at first sight. The boss hadn't read it yet, (and I don't really think she intended to) so she lent it to me. This was Richard Saul Wurman's 'Information Anxiety 2.'
I took the book home to my basement suite and devoured it. Suddenly, all of my problems and frustrations had been articulated. They had words. I was not alone. I remember going for a walk afterwards, and feeling that the whole world had changed around me. I now knew what I needed to do for a living.
Time went on, and I learned more about information architecture and experience design through my netscape browser in my little basement suite in the north. I soaked up everything I could about the discipline then, which wasn't much really.
Eventually I returned to the University of Alberta, and changed my degree to Management Information Systems - the closest thing I could find that matched my understanding of what Information Architecture was at that point.
At school I rubbed shoulders with Comp Sci students who were fascinated with logical structures of programming, but had no interest whatsoever in this pesky thing called a "user." I attended classes with business students, who were really more interested in their own career ladders than in making things better for anyone.
I quietly finished my degree, still believing I was the only person in the country that had a vague understanding of what Information Architecture was, and why it mattered. The time came to look for a "real" job... and I lost it.
I had been going to all the different IT meetups and dinners, doing all the networking you are supposed to do, but still: "Information Architecture?"
"Oh yeah, we have a very advanced server / client architecture set up for our clients. Very effecient, enables server-sides scripting..."
Like I said, one day I lost it. I got so mad that there was such a large Information Technology community in the city, yet no one seemed to have any idea that people would eventally use the products they were developing, or cared to think about how to make things best for them. Like any upright citizen in a democratized country, I decided to hold the powers that be accountable.
I went downtown and walked into the office of every IT consulting company I knew of. The receptionists could cleary sense my repressed, yet polite rage when I came in.
"Hi. My name is Adam. I'm doing some ah.... Career Research. Can I talk to your Information Architect?" I asked with tight lips and a fixed stare.
"Oh, you mean our Technical Architect? Sure, I'll just see if he's available..."
And so on. I don't have to tell you how the rest of this day went. I spent the whole day talking to people who had no idea what I was talking about. Information Architects were apparently as elusive as the Canadian Sasquatch.
Finally at the end of it all, someone at one of the consulting agencies knew someone who knew someone. His contact had just started a small startup in town, and he could put me in touch. At long last I would be able to meet a real, live Information Architect instead of just reading about them. They did exist, and there was one in my city. Walking the same streets I did.
We sat down, and immediately it was clear that I had a bit of a ways to go before actually getting into the field. Yet he offered a small freelance contract to me: a content inventory. Needless to say I spent days on it, doing the best I could. And I did a pretty good job with it. Still, his company was a brand new startup, and it was pretty critical for them to have staff that could hit the ground running at that point.
Back to the cold, hard streets for me, but at least now there was hope: Information Architecture was real. Information Architects were out there.
Fast forward 10 years or so, and today I am working as a Senior Information Architect with the Office of the Chief Information Officer in the Province of British Columbia. Like most Information Architects, the path to get here was definitely not a straight one. If anything I had to do a lot of bush-whacking actually. But I love what I do.
I've done time working in Database Development, Project Management, Business Analysis, User Experience Design, and am now learning about Enterprise Information Architecture, working towards establishing a cross government metadata registry or ontology. I'll also be speaking at the Information Architecture Summit in New Orleans this year, spreading the gospel of metadata.
And while I refer to the Polar Bear book (and its children) more often than 'Information Anxiety 2' these days, I'm still designing for the common goal: a digital world that we can understand, navigate, and use.
Thanks for reading my IA Story folks, keep up the good fight!

After a question from my friend Mark, shots of our three kitties this morning.
Molly has taken to wanting to drink from the bathroom sink tap, looks difficult to balance on the rim of the bow, and lap, but she likes it.
Scully is caught in the rays of the rising sun, all bathed in soft golden light.
And about half an hour later, Mulder is also on the windowsill beside the back door, checking that there is no food about, meowing for his 2nd or 3rd breakfast.
A member of the audience asks a question during the side event, Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies, at the U.S. Center at COP-16 in Cancun, Mexico, on December 2, 2010.
