    Lt Cmdr Ragguette were amongst fifty-eight (58) students representing fifty-one (51) different countries that attended the course. He described his experience as one riddled with challenges brought about by the Covid-19 Pandemic and the eruption of the La Soufriere Volcano in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

    He noted, however, that it was a rewarding experience, comforted by the fact that SVG Coast Guard Service made a remarkable contribution to assist the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) in the aftermath of the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano.


    The US NWC program is a residential program that runs for a one-year period. According to Lieutenant Commander Ragguette, the program offered a broad interdisciplinary curriculum in contemporary security studies that encompassed addressing and dissolving a diverse spectrum of regional and global issues and perspectives.


    Some of the subject matters that were covered were: Theatre Security Decision Making, Strategy and War, Joint Military Operation, Leadership, Climate Change, National Security, and Leadership and war through the humanities.


    Upon successful completion, Lt. Cmdr. Ragguette was awarded a Diploma in recognition of Navy and Joint Professional Military Education in National Security, Strategy and Policy, and Joint Military Operations. He was also awarded an academic excellence certificate for best in writing.
    He attributed his success to God, his wife, parents, friends, family, and work colleagues.
