New U.S. Radar Raises Stakes Near Venezuela
3rd December 2025
American military personnel have installed a high-tech radar system in Tobago, a move Trinidad and Tobago officials say is intended to strengthen surveillance of drug-trafficking activity in the southern Caribbean.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar confirmed that U.S. Marines set up the unit on the eastern end of the Crown Point runway at ANR Robinson International Airport, as reported by USA Today.
Tobago lies about 70 miles from Venezuela’s Paria Peninsula.

I’d love to have that duty station….
