However, Haiti Military Forces have been destroyed at least twice by foreign forces. Therefore, Haiti is lacking special forces to protect its borders, coasts, air, lands, and territories. Training new soldiers will take too long to resolve the current crisis the country is facing. Sending foreign troop to Haiti is not a viable plan because it has been proven that it is not a long-term solution. Indeed, Haitians abroad have been playing soccer, basketball, tennis, etc. for Haiti. They have been representing Haiti in a lot of competitions despite the fact that most of these athletes and representatives have never been to Haiti. There is come this question, &#8220;Why not having Haitian soldiers from foreign armed forces being deployed in Haiti instead of foreigner?&#8221; It is a Haitian crisis that can be solved by Haitians with proper partnerships. When it comes to Military skills, Haitians have been proving themselves all over the world. Haitians security specialists know where to start and how to stop this war which may seem daunting. Haitian people back home are worried. Let&#8217;s get together to tell them, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry! We&#8217;re here to help!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The first steps to consider serving Haiti now is by including this understanding that military strategies and forces are the best solution for Haiti now. You can start exploring the different service branches and decide between enlisted and officer career paths of the HELP-Democracy in Haiti mission.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space alter_height=&#8221;huge&#8221; hide_on_desktop=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_notebook=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space alter_height=&#8221;huge&#8221; hide_on_desktop=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_notebook=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; hide_bg_image_on_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; hide_bg_image_on_mobile=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1514204328312{background-color: #1b181a !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"sc_content_wrap sc_push_large sc_pull_large\"><div id=\"sc_content_1280288160\"\n\t\tclass=\"sc_content color_style_default sc_content_default sc_float_center\"><div class=\"sc_content_container\">[vc_single_image image=&#8221;6096&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;]<\/div><\/div><!-- \/.sc_content --><\/div><!-- \/.sc_content_wrap --><div id=\"sc_content_136509118\"\n\t\tclass=\"sc_content color_style_default sc_content_default sc_content_width_1_1 sc_float_center\"><div class=\"sc_content_container\">[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div id=\"sc_content_1641508198\"\n\t\tclass=\"sc_content color_style_default color_style_default sc_content_default sc_float_center sc_padding_medium  vc_custom_1514204290179\"><div class=\"sc_content_container\"><div id=\"sc_title_642742919\"\n\t\tclass=\"sc_title color_style_default sc_title_default\"><h3 class=\"sc_item_title sc_title_title sc_align_left sc_item_title_style_default sc_item_title_tag\">Learning about entrance requirements<\/h3><\/div><!-- \/.sc_title -->[vc_empty_space alter_height=&#8221;small&#8221; hide_on_desktop=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_notebook=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1514204625615{margin-bottom: 0.4rem !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"trx_addons_no_margin\">01.
