Nothing screens third world welcoming more than soldier standing around in crowds in place of police…

Or am I the only one who thinks its sketchy when you are overseas and see soldiers sometimes walking around as though we are at war.

The article is just pointing out at that, as an additional benefit to the America’s Cup related training, 16 soldiers now have the training to fill in for airport security if need be.

In a support role perhaps, but they cannot replace law enforcement services as suggested.
After Hurricane Fabian essential personnel were taken by boat to the airport so it could begin recovery efforts and processing of passengers. This is a more useful role for the RBR then carrying out searches of civilians. Also, there are dozens of above and below wing workers who need to attend along with rescue services

Further, if staff cannot get to the airport, assuming the RBR can, how will the passengers be transported?
