The newly established Gang Suppression Force (GSF) in Haiti received a boost with 20 new Armored Personnel Carriers from the USA.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 2793 (2025), adopted on 30 September 2025, UNSCR 2793 (2025) authorized the transition of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission into the newly established Gang Suppression Force (GSF) for an initial period of 12 months.
The USA government has recently delivered 20 additional new Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), with five already deployed to the Artibonite area, demonstrating continued international confidence in and support for the GSF’s mission.
These reinforcements highlight the GSF’s determination, under its strengthened mandate, to reshape the security environment and enhance operational effectiveness across Haiti, officials said.
This transition reflects the lessons learned from the MSS mission and introduces an expanded mandate and strengthened operational framework for the GSF.
The GSF operates under a more robust and comprehensive mandate, which includes enhanced Capacity and Composition with the deployment of up to 5,500 uniformed personnel and 50 civilian staff that will ensure wider operational reach and improved coordination.
