U.S. Service members arrive in Morocco for African Lion

AGADIR, Morocco- Approximately 650 U.S. military personnel have arrived in various regions of the Kingdom of Morocco to take part in Exercise AFRICAN LION 2009. This is an annually-scheduled, combined U.S.-Moroccan exercise designed to improve interoperability and mutual understanding of each nation’s tactics, techniques and procedures.

AFRICAN LION, a U.S. Africa Command-sponsored exercise, will include various types of military training including command post, live-fire training, peacekeeping operations, aerial refueling / low level flight training as well as a medical, dental, and veterinarian assistance projects to run concurrent with the training.

Marines from 4th Combat Engineer Battalion, 4th Marine Division will conduct a command post exercise, and various service members from the 23rd Marine Regiment will conduct bi-lateral training at the unit level, weapons qualification training and peacekeeping operations training with units from the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces. Marines and aircraft from the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 234, Marine Aircraft Group 41, will conduct aerial refueling and low-level flight training with their counterparts in the Royal Moroccan Air Force.

Concurrent with the exercise, U.S. military professionals from the Utah Army National Guard and the 4th Medical Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, will provide medical, dental and veterinarian humanitarian assistance to local residents in and around the community of Taroudant.

The exercise is scheduled to end on or about June 4, 2009. All U.S. forces will return to their home bases in the United States and Germany at the conclusion of the exercise. The last AFRICA LION exercise occurred in May 2008 and involved about 1,000 Moroccan and U.S. military personnel.

Maroc: manoeuvres conjointes américano-marocaines jusqu'en juin

Quelque 650 militaires américains s'entraînent depuis le début du mois de mai avec les forces marocaines en diverses régions du royaume dans le cadre de l'exercice annuel African Lion 2009, a-t-on appris officiellement mercredi.

African Lion est destiné à "améliorer l'interopérabilité et la compréhension des tactiques, techniques et procédures" de chaque nation, indique un communiqué de l'ambassade des Etats-Unis à Rabat.

Ces manoeuvres bilatérales se déroulent près de Tan Tan, Taroudant (sud) et Kenitra (centre), est-il précisé. Elles prendront fin le 4 juin.

Les militaires américains appartiennent pour l'essentiel à des unités de Marines (4th Combat Engineer Battalion, 4th Marine Division, 23rd Marine Regiment), note le communiqué.

Des opérations de ravitaillement en vol et des entraînements au vol à basse altitude sont également au programme de ces manoeuvres interarmes, avec la participation d'avions ravitailleurs américains.

Simultanément à ces exercices, des personnels de la Utah National Guard et du 4th Medical Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, fourniront une assistance médicale et vétérinaire aux populations locales, ajoute le communiqué.

Le précédent exercice African Lion s'était déroulé au Maroc en mai 2008. Environ 1.000 militaires américains et marocains y avaient prs part.

CPX sharpens edge, coordination between U.S., Moroccan forces
Story by Master Sgt. Grady T. Fontana


TIFNIT, Morocco- U.S. and Moroccan forces integrated staffs to compose a combined infantry regiment and worked through simulated scenarios designed to challenge their interoperability in the command post exercise portion of Exercise AFRICAN LION 2009.

“We are here as the notional infantry regiment and we’re here to interact with our Moroccan counterparts as we go through the planning process, mission analysis, course of action development, and then [we] actually go through a simulation exercise,” said Marine Corps Lt. Col. Peter J. Finan, commanding officer, 4th Combat Engineer Battalion, 4th Marine Division.

The combined infantry regiment exercised their interoperability through a simulator known as the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Tactical Warfare Simulation (MTWS), and it’s the Marine Corps’ primary aggregate model to train staff, according to Art R. Aragon, modeling and simulation planner, Marine Corps Forces, Africa.

“Instead of getting a whole regiment into the field, we simulate the regiment,” said Aragon, a former Marine Corps captain. “We simulate the forces, as well as the enemy, and we script the scenarios such that we focus on specific training objectives that the regiment wants to accomplish, and we do that in this simulated battlefield.”

The CPX involved about 50 service members, 25 each from 4th CEB, and Morocco’s Forces Armee Royale, and they were divided between the unit operations center, response cells, and control tent.

The operations center, the command post for the regiment, was led equally by Finan and his Moroccan counterpart and they commanded a simulated U.S. Marine Corps infantry battalion, a Moroccan infantry battalion, and a combined U.S.-Moroccan infantry battalion, according to Finan.

“The Moroccans are very detailed in their planning,” said Finan, a native of Ashburn, Va. “They have a very thorough thought process, and I’ve been wonderfully pleased with the fact that they go through a process that’s quite like ours.”

The staff exercised a basic counter-insurgency scenario that included infantry conflicts, and humanitarian activities. “There may be a humanitarian crisis reported over the network, there may be a heavy loss of civilian life,” said Finan. Those are the types of scenarios the U.S. and Moroccans had to collaborate on.

According to Aragon, the simulation “war game” doesn’t necessarily garnish a winner or loser; all decisions are evaluated by people, not a computer.

“It’s called a man-in-the-loop simulation; it requires human decisions and it doesn’t grade or evaluate the human decision—humans do, we do, the Moroccan officers and Marines who are sitting in the exercise control room, they do.” said Aragon. “They will eventually evaluate the actions of the training audience—the computer doesn’t. All the computer does is provide us with a realistic environment to move friendly forces and enemy forces.”

“The scenarios have an emphasis on the combined [U.S.-Moroccan] battalion,” said Finan. “That’s the one we want to focus on. That’s the one we want an understanding on how to approach a particular enemy situation. We go through this now, so if we ever had to [operate combined] we’ll already have some of those lessons learned from this exercise.”

Finan said it’s important that U.S. forces work with foreign militaries. “The two conflicts that we’re presently involved in, Iraq and Afghanistan, require [combined forces],” said Finan. If we want to be good at it, and effective at it, and successful at it, we try to practice as much as possible.”

“If the 4th CEB is called upon to Afghanistan, we feel that this exercise will play a part in sharpening our edges and refining our skills,” said Finan. “This, quite frankly, is how it’s going to be done when you get to those countries.”

Finan was notably proud of his staff of officers and deemed the exercise a success. However, he was equally impressed and thankful for the unrelenting effort put forth by the enlisted Marines of 4th CEB and the Inspector-Instructor staff.

“Those Marines have bent over backward and have worked behind the scenes,” said Finan. “This exercise would be nowhere near as successful if it wasn’t for the [enlisted] Marines and the I&I staff supporting this exercise. They’ve kept this exercise running.”

AFRICAN LION is an annually scheduled, combined U.S.-Moroccan exercise that includes various types of military training including command post, live-fire training, peacekeeping operations, aerial refueling / low level flight training as well as a medical, dental, and veterinarian assistance projects to run concurrent with the training. The exercise is scheduled to run until June 4.
