Capabilities & Role
The Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) is primarily responsible for internal security, while its Coast Guard sub-unit is tasked with maritime domain awareness and counter-narcotics operations. According to the sources, Grenada is a signatory to the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (Treaty of Rio) and the Organization of American States (OAS), binding the nation to the peaceful settlement of disputes and collective action in the event of external attack.
As of 2026, Grenada does not possess an independent capacity for aerial power projection and relies on its membership in the Caribbean Regional Security System (RSS) for regional defense cooperation. The nation has no reported indigenous defense industry. Historically, regional security for small Caribbean states has been supported by training and equipment donations from the United States and the United Kingdom, often coordinated through US SOUTHCOM exercises such as Tradewinds.
