Maroc: Exercise 'African Lion 2014' commence

 

Les Forces armées royales marocaines , les membres des Forces armées de la République fédérale d’Allemagne, une petite représentation du personnel de l’OTAN et du personnel des États-Unis avec la 2ème brigade expéditionnaire des Marines américains, et des représentants de 13 pays partenaires africains et européens ont commencé l'exercice « African Lion » le 26 Mars 2014.

 

« African Lion » est un exercice combiné et conjoint entre le Royaume du Maroc et les Etats-Unis d’Amérique, comprenant environ 350 membres américains en service, 150 soldats des Forces armées royales marocaines, et du personnel supplémentaires en provenance des pays partenaires européens et africains.

 

" La 2ème brigade expéditionnaire des Marines est honorée de faire partie de l'exercice ‘African Lion’ », a déclaré le Général de brigade John K. Love, Général de la 2ème brigade expéditionnaire des Marines. «L'exercice ‘African Lion’ a une longue histoire et il est très important pour la relation entre le Maroc et les Etats-Unis. Nous reconnaissons l'importance de l'exercice ‘African Lion' dans la poursuite de cette amitié et le partenariat entre nos deux nations.

 

" Cet exercice est un engagement militaire-à-militaire comportant divers types de formations militaires tels que : des exercices du poste de commandement dans l'aide humanitaire et les secours en cas de catastrophe, des opérations de stabilité, telles que la formation sur les armes non létales, de tirs réels et des exercices de réponse aux crises ainsi qu’un atelier de renforcement des capacités de renseignements et un programme d'observation multi-nationale.

 

“La différence entre cette édition de l’’African Lion’ et les exercices précédents est que cet exercice est élevé au niveau opérationnel», a déclaré le General Love. «C'est une bonne occasion pour nos deux états-majors d’apprendre davantage sur le niveau opérationnel de la guerre et la façon de mener les opérations comme une force opérationnelle interarmée combinée. »  

 

Un exercice réussi renforcera les partenariats dans la région en renforçant la compréhension des capacités de chaque pays et sa capacité à fonctionner en groupe. Cet exercice est réalisé chaque année conformément aux opérations de paix mandatées par l'ONU avec des thèmes d'assistance humanitaire et souligne le lien étroit entre l'armée marocaine et les forces armées des États-Unis. Il renforce les missions de formation menées dans les précédents exercices de l’"African Lion », et crée une base solide pour la coopération militaire prévue dans l'avenir.

 

« African Lion 2014 » améliore également les capacités d’opérer militairement entre les nations, construisant ainsi des relations avec cette région stratégique clé dans la zone de responsabilité de l’U.S. Africa Command.

Marines prepare for historic African exercise

Marines are back in Morocco for African Lion a year after the local government abruptly canceled the largest annual exercise on the continent, sending hundreds of leathernecks packing, and they’re preparing for next year’s iteration to be the most robust yet.

Members of 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., and 25th Marines, a Massachusetts-based reserve unit, are participating in the multinational exercise that teams them with Moroccan and German troops from March 27 to April 5. This year’s exercise is a scaled-down version in preparation for African Lion 2015, which is slated to be the biggest the continent has ever seen. The plan is to combine it with another U.S. Africa Command-sponsored exercise also held in Morocco, said Master Sgt. Chad McMeen, a spokesman for Marine Forces Europe and Africa.

“The 2015 exercise is expected to incorporate the Air Force F-16 exercise, formerly known as Majestic Eagle, into the training making it the largest planned exercise in its history,” he said.

African Lion is intentionally planned to go from a large-scale exercise one year to a smaller version the following, McMeen said.

“This gives planners and participants a chance to build a knowledge foundation with a reduced scale before conducting a larger combined exercise,” he said.

The troops will conduct various training missions meant to enhance cooperation and understanding about each other’s tactics, techniques and procedures, McMeen said. It will include a command post exercise, intelligence capacity building workshops, peace support operation exercises and humanitarian civic assistance, he said. The troops will also practice responding to crises scenarios in order to increase interoperability between the three countries, he said.

Last year, about 1,400 Marines, soldiers and sailors had to pack up and redeploy out of Morocco days after arriving for African Lion 2013. The Marines, led by 14th Marines, 4th Marine Division, a Marine Corps Forces Reserve artillery unit out of Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas, but with subordinate units spread across 13 states, had been training for the event for about six months.

The surprising turn of events came after the country’s leaders took exception to the Obama administration’s support for the placement of United Nations human rights monitors in the disputed Western Sahara territory.

Despite last year’s dust-up, McMeen said the U.S. and Moroccan militaries remain long-standing partners. In addition to the countries participating, 13 other European and African nations are observing the exercise this year in anticipation of becoming participants in future exercises, he said.

US, Moroccan military personnel refine escalation-of-force tactics during African Lion 14

 

TIFINIT TRAINING AREA, Morocco-- Royal Moroccan Armed Forces soldiers and a joint-contingent of U.S. military police personnel, including U.S. Marines from 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, U.S. soldiers and airmen, shared tactics and techniques for nonlethal weapons enforcement and escalation-of-force operations during African Lion 14 in Tifnit Training Area, Morocco.

 

“It’s a very good training opportunity and different than working with our [other coalition] partners,” said Sgt. Christian A. Jensen, a military policeman from 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion. 

 

The six-day military-to-military engagement refined techniques in the topics of: escalation of force; familiarization of nonlethal weapons employment; and non-combative hand-to-hand techniques. The engagement will later cover baton work; employment of shield-line techniques, formation and drills; and oleoresin capsicum spray. 

“They are on a high level of training, so we aren’t here trying to rebuild; we are trying to add to the basics,” added the Half Moon Bay, Calif. native. 

 

The Moroccan and U.S. forces exchanged their shared experiences of nonlethal and crowd-control employment during the engagement to build upon their proficiency as military personnel from different nations. 

“This [Moroccan] battalion we’re here with specializes in [riot control] so it’s been a good opportunity to learn some of their tactics and show them some of ours,” said Sgt. David E. Spurling, a military policeman with 2nd LEB.

 

“For our newer Marines, it’s good to see how they employ their tactics in contrast to ours.” 

 

The multinational brigade of military police personnel find common ground in their training as they become more proficient in the capacity to employ nonlethal weapons, which gives commanders a viable option for regional stability, said Jensen. 

 

“U.S. forces train differently than [Moroccans forces] but for the most part we have similar techniques,” said Jensen. “This is a big thing with [theater security cooperation]; we want to make sure all coalition forces are on the same page so, if we have to work together in an armed conflict, there isn’t a learning curve with the different forces.” 

 

African Lion 14 exemplifies the ability of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade to integrate with partner-nation militaries and respond to contingencies in the operational reach of U.S. Africa Command under a scalable, expeditionary joint-task force of multiple U.S. service components. 

 

“The big thing having access to train with these nations is now we have multiple forces that are on the same level so if we go into an armed conflict or humanitarian assistance mission, it’s not just U.S. forces, it’s partner-nation forces for that mission as well,” said Jensen. 

Nonlethal weapons employment and escalation-of-force packages are an integral part of military operations to prevent or reduce the loss of life while maintaining civil disorder.

 

“It gives commanders another tool for assessing a situation; maybe a lethal option isn’t needed when you have the nonlethal ability to de-escalate the situation,” said Spurling. 

 

“A lot of our Marines have worked with other nations and seen other services but it’s been a great opportunity to see [Moroccan] tactics and how we can improve and share together,” said Spurlling. 

 

The shared-proficiency of multiple nations will promote regional stability and interoperability and integration if partners ever need to operate in real-world contingencies. 

 

“I believe it’s important because it’s another partner to have in this region,” said Spurling.“[This engagement] is to show them that we are here for them and, after working with them, I believe they are here for us.”

 

African Lion 14 is a multilateral U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa-led military engagement with the Royal Kingdom of Morocco and Republic of Germany Armed Forces. The annually-scheduled exercise, one of the largest of its kind on the African continent, promotes regional stability while building partner-nation capacity through operational and tactical-level interoperability during it’s three-week evolution, slated to finish April 5.

Moroccans, U.S. engage in stability operations training

 

TIFNIT, Morocco – The U.S. and coalition forces learned valuable lessons during recent campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, specifically regarding the importance of stability operations and their relevance during future contingencies. 

 

Soldiers from the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces and U.S. military personnel participating in Exercise African Lion 14 conducted stability operations training to put those lessons into practice during Exercise African Lion 14, March 27, 2014. 

 

Exercise African Lion 14 is a combined-joint exercise between the Kingdom of Morocco, and the U.S. that involves approximately 150 soldiers of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, 350 U.S. servicemembers and additional military personnel from European and African partner nations. 

 

The annually-scheduled exercise is designed to improve each nation's ability to operate collectively and develop a mutual understanding of each nation's military tactics, techniques and procedures. The primary focus of this year’s exercise is the combined-joint staffing process through a command-post exercise designed to prepare participating partner forces for the larger scale multi-lateral training event scheduled for Exercise African Lion 15.

 

A platoon from the Royal Moroccan Army with U.S. servicemembers from U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, 25th Marine Regiment, 92nd Military Police Company and a U.S. Air Force security detachment had the opportunity to focus on patrolling, non-lethal engagements and convoy security, during the stability operations portion of the exercise.

 

 “Working with the Moroccans is important because not only does it strengthen our relationships, but it creates an opportunity for both militaries to learn from each other,” said Marine 1st Lt. Aaron Anderson, a military police officer with 2nd MEB. “Even with the language barrier, the Moroccans and Marines have been able to work together and effectively communicate with one another.”

 

 Moroccan and Marine leaders divided the training into three evolutions giving the Moroccans, Marines, sailors, airmen and soldiers the opportunity to work in small groups. This ensured proper application of training procedures and effective dissemination of information. 

 

The first evolution consisted of fire-team formations and hand-and-arm signals, which were followed by immediate-action drills and patrolling. Classes soon turned to quick-reaction practical application scenarios based on the lessons taught.

 

“The Moroccans simply amazed the Marines,” said Marine 1st Lt. Shane G. Livingstone, a military police platoon commander. “This morning we did a ‘check on learning.’ There’s nothing like being able to watch them pick-up and execute everything they learned the day before with speed and accuracy, even after having received a lot of classes the same day.”

 

Immediately following application of patrolling skills around the perimeter of the training area, the next class focused on entry and vehicle-control points, which included vehicle and personnel searches, and escalation-of-force procedures.

 

“This training is essential because it gives the Moroccans another skill to employ when needed,” said Marine Cpl. Alberto Camacho, a non-lethal weapons instructor. “Instead of having few options before use of lethal force, they now have more tools to draw from when attempting to de-escalate situations.”

 

 Instructors noted the techniques practiced during the training evolution would prove useful in other noncombat operations. The participants can also use the training for noncombatant evacuations, humanitarian aid and other situations that require nonlethal force. 

 

The Moroccan soldiers and Marines finished the day’s training with convoy security taught by U.S. Army military police from Sembach, Germany, and U.S. Air Force military police out of Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. Their training focused on humanitarian relief and disaster stability operations, which covered sectors of fire, danger areas and escorting humanitarian supplies.

 

“This training was important because they now can apply it and train other countries, but it was also good for us because we’ve learned just as much from the Moroccans,” said Sgt. Keenan M. Kite, with the U.S. Army military police. “We’ve learned more about their culture, tactics and procedures and incorporated that into how we operate as well.”

 

The stability operations training served as one portion of Exercise African Lion 14. The exercise also includes live-fire training, more in depth nonlethal weapons training, and a multinational observer program before it concludes, April 5.

International military police officers find common ground at African Lion 14

 

TIFNIT, Morocco – Military police officers from the U.S. Marines, Army and Air Force, along with Royal Moroccan soldiers specializing in riot-control, found common ground as enforcers of the law during African Lion 14.

 

The training engagement, out on the desert-lined coast of Tifnit, Morocco, focused on more than training alongside partners; it integrated the bilateral band of law enforcers as they ate, slept and worked together for the three-week exercise. 

 

“We are coming together totally integrated with them; we’re not just doing this training as a group of Army, a group of Moroccans, a group of Marines… Everything we do is mixed up to ‘shuffle the deck’ a bit,” said Marine 1st Lt. Philip J, Casata, a platoon leader for 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, Camp Lejeune, N.C. 

 

Exercise African Lion 14 is an annually-scheduled, multilateral training engagement that is hosted by the Kingdom of Morocco. One of the largest of its kind on the continent, the engagement shows the commitment of the participating nations to military friendships, strategic partnerships and regional and global security. 

 

“The broad theme here is security and stability operations,” added the Portchester, N.Y., native. 

 

Stability and security elements that were shared between the joint-contingent of U.S. military police officers and the Royal Moroccan soldiers included: convoy security, crowd and riot control, vehicle and entry control points, nonlethal-weapons employment, escalation-of-force operations, humanitarian assistance, and peacekeeping operations. 

 

“We do everything as one unit and a lot of what we’re doing is sharing our [tactics and experiences], so there’s a little bit of ours and a little bit of theirs,” said Casata. 

 

In addition to their roles as enforcers of law and order on military installations, Marine and Army military police and Air Force security forces fulfill various combat roles in Overseas Contingency Operations, such as Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

 

“The U.S. Military as a whole is very used to the last decade of combat operations, so we see things one way. Moroccans are used to doing a lot of U.N. peacekeeping operations, so it’s very important for us to come together and exchange what we know and how to do things,” said Casata.

 

U.S. military police in Afghanistan and Iraq have been used for duties ranging from convoy security, dismounted and mounted patrols to military working-dog operations, security details for VIPs and detainee handing. 

 

Royal Moroccan Armed Forces are an important partner in the Maghreb, where a professional and established military is integral to peacekeeping and regional stability on the continent.

 

“They are the subject-matter experts in a part of the world we’re not used to operating in and on the other end, we bring a bit more of the combat expertise; we’re definitely able to exchange a lot of knowledge,” said Casata. 

 

Bonds as a combined, joint contingent of military police officers were as important as the sharing of knowledge. 

 

“It’s really interesting to see how many similarities we have and, at the same time, what each [u.S.] branch and each country does a little bit different,” said Tech Sgt. Matthew S. Devries, a lead noncommissioned officer from the 916th Security Forces Squadron, Seymore-Johnson Air Base, N.C.

 

“But since we are all ‘MP’ companies for the most part, it’s generally the same, so it’s easy for us to adjust quickly and work together,” added Devries. 

 

The commonalties in riot and crowd control competencies helped the U.S. servicemembers work with their Moroccan partners more fluidly. 

 

“When you have ‘MPs’ working together, the exercises and qualifications are the same; it’s really easy to relate to each other… the Moroccans are really good at what they do and it’s always good just to work together for a common goal,” added Devries. 

 

The common goals go beyond proficiency in military police skill; it encompasses building on that proficiency with lessons learned by working with counterparts of different nations and different branches.

 

“The Moroccans are a very good military; they are very disciplined and very eager to learn and share their knowledge. What we’ve been able to do is learn the tactics of the Moroccan military and add it to our own procedures,” said Army 1st Lt. Branden T. Varga, platoon leader of the 230th Military Police Company, Baumholder, Germany. 

 

“It’s important to build cohesion between the two different countries and their militaries and with the Moroccan military, who do a lot of UN peacekeeping missions, we can integrate their procedures and incorporate them into our techniques,” said the Vacaville, Calif., native. 

 

Through all the shared tactics, techniques and procedures, the most important lesson might be one not found in the military learning objectives; one about the bond of an enforcer of the law, despite country or service or location. 

 

“Everyone’s meshing pretty well; in general, we’re all some type of military police, whether Marines, Army, Air Force or Moroccan,” said Casata. 

 

“Given the different backgrounds we came from, it’s by no means a teacher-mentee relationship; it’s been a level training field and a great experience for everyone so far.”

Exercice Jebel Tarik 2014 :  Visite du commandant de la 2 éme BIP aux éléments en entrainement depuis un mois avec le Royal Gibraltar Regiment 

 

RG Visited During Exercise Jebel Tarik in UK

 

The Commandant Deuxieme Brigade d’Infanterie Parachutiste (2BIP), General de Brigade M’barek Moutaleb, of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, visited the Royal Gibraltar Regiment (RG) during their annual UK training camp Exercise Jebel Tarik.

 

The month long training exercise in Folkstone and Brecon has seen joint training with both regulars and reservists from the RG, a number of soldiers from 2BIP and elements of the Light Dragoons.

 

The Royal Gibraltar Regiment has a strong and long standing relationship with the Moroccan Armed Forces built up over the last 13 years through their annual joint training Exercise Jebel Sahara in Marrakesh.

 

The General said, ‘2 BIP has trained for many years with the RG and it has benefitted us both working in a multinational environment. Nations have long realized we can no longer work in isolation, and by building these relationships we become better educated and stronger for it. These joint exercises also increase our experience as soldiers and officers.

 

The General also went on to talk about the benefits of training in a completely different environment and the chance to improve language skills and cultural understanding.

 

‘This Exercise gives our Soldiers and Officers the ability to reach a new standard by training in an environment which is unusual to them, and conditions which they are not used to. This will help create Soldiers and Officers who are more adaptable and able to operate within the mission specific framework of our British counterparts.

 

 ‘We ensure there are a couple of English speaking Officers or Soldiers present, but it is also an opportunity for others to learn the language and culture. This enables members of the Moroccan Armed Forces to understand the British and to make for much more integrated training in the future.’

 

This visit was also an opportunity for the General to meet members of the Light Dragoons who will be training with the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and his Brigade on Exercise Jebel Sahara 14.

 

During their time in the UK on Exercise Jebel Tarik, the Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Gibraltar Regiment visited them. The Governor arrived in Sennebridge Training Area, Brecon, in the early hours and witnessed an early morning ‘Fighting in Woods and Forrest Attack’, all members of I Company and a Platoon from Moroccan Armed Forces 2BIP carried out the scenario under the Command of Major David King.

 

Following the attack he spent time talking to the soldiers of I Company before spending some time with Reservists soldiers in B Company who were going through mandatory Live Firing Training.
