One of Uncle Sam's early steps created a national army the Gendarmerie d Liaiti to teach Haitians to govern themselves without U.S. aid. The force, starting at 2,500, has replaced the Marines in interior posts. Native officers train at the Ecole Militaire Haitian West Point as police and fire departments modernize and prisons are reformed.
