ils s'interessent un peu trop de près au C130J en plus on l'a deja reçu a plusieurs reprises pour les exercices conjoints peut etre un prochain achat

Je pense que une douzaine de ch-47 d est aussi necessaire, cet appareil est utile pour le deploiment rapide et la mobilité des brigades speciales. A mon avis c plus efficace que des c130 j

L'Inspecteur général des FAR, le Général de corps d'armée Abdelfettah Louarrak, a rencontré mercredi le secrétaire d’Etat adjoint américain à la Défense pour les affaires sécuritaires internationales, Robert Karem. Voici pourquoi.

La préparation de l'ordre du jour du 11e Comité consultatif de Défense Maroc-USA, prévu en avril 2019, a été l'objet des entretiens que l'inspecteur général des Forces armées royales, le Général de corps d'armée, Abdelfettah Louarrak, a eu ce mercredi à Rabat avec le secrétaire d’Etat adjoint américain à la Défense pour les affaires sécuritaires internationales, Robert Karem.

 

Pour rappel, l'Inspecteiur général des FAR, Abdelfettah Louarrak, a coprésidé le 12 avril dernier à Washington, le 10e Comité consultatif de Défense Maroc-USA, où il a eu des contacts et des entretiens au niveau du Pentagone.


Force est de constater que la coopération militaire entre le Maroc et les USA est passée à une vitesse supérieure depuis l'arrivée de Donald Trump à la tête de l'Administration américaine.

 

Le Pentagone a consenti la livraison d'importants équipements militaires aux FAR, entre autres les Chars Abrams et de nouveaux F16 de type Viper, sans compter qu'un nouveau contrat est en passe d'être conclu pour approvisionner l'armée marocaine en hélicoptères Apache. 

 

Il y a lieu de souligner aussi que le Pentagone a porté son dévolu sur le Maroc pour l'organisation annuellement de la manoeuvre militaire la plus importante en Afrique, en l'occurence "African Lion".

hmm interesting, cela veut dire que le Maroc est toujours engagé dans la guerre au Yémen

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) hosted a delegation of African women military communications specialists June 19 as part of U.S. Africa Command's (USAFRICOM) Women's Military-to-Military Engagement Program.

The African nation officers and enlisted participants are in San Diego to attend the 31st annual Joint Women's Leadership Symposium, June 21-22. Their attendance was coordinated by USAFRICOM's command, control, communications and computer systems directorate. This year's engagement included 14 women military representatives from Angola, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Chad, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

"USAFRICOM is committed to building partner capacity on the continent of Africa. It is a strategic main effort of our campaign plan," said Army Brig. Gen. Christopher L. Eubank, USAFRICOM director of communication (J6). "USAFRICOM will work by, with and through our partners to create conditions that allow our partners to build capabilities to address the drivers of instability."

As the Navy's information warfare systems command, SPAWAR played a valuable role in the participants' military professional development experience in San Diego.

One of SPAWAR's fundamental efforts is to implement the information warfare platform across the Navy, which integrates individual command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) capabilities within the fleet. This strengthens combat capabilities by aggregating, fusing and exposing data and services across mission areas to provide actionable knowledge to the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as U.S. coalition partners.

"Our goal was to share with our African nation partners how the Navy trains communicators and delivers essential capability to warfighters," said SPAWAR Commander Rear Admiral Christian Becker. "We provided the attendees a U.S. Navy perspective on the significance of information warfare, with a broad view on the communications profession. It was an honor for SPAWAR to host these extraordinary military leaders from across the African continent."

A key element of the command's engagement with coalition partners is fulfilled by the International C4I Integration Program Office, PMW 740. The program office played the central role in explaining how the United States provides C4I to allies and coalition partners via the Foreign Military Sales process.

"We modernize our international partners' computer and electronic systems and integrate them across ships, submarines, aircraft and shore stations," explained Sean Moone, PMW 740's program manager. "By maximizing the United States' ability to communicate and share information with friendly nations, our allies are able to better defend themselves, protect their waterways, and respond to humanitarian assistance or disaster relief efforts."

The goal of the AFRICOM Women's Military-to-Military Engagement Program is to build partner capacity by familiarizing and exposing African women military signal personnel with Department of Defense signal and cyber defense key processes and training procedures.

SPAWAR identifies, develops, delivers and sustains information warfighting capabilities supporting naval, joint, coalition and other national missions. SPAWAR consists of more than 10,000 active duty military and civil service professionals located around the world and close to the fleet to keep SPAWAR at the forefront of research, engineering and acquisition to provide and sustain information warfare capabilities to the fleet.

MARRAKESH, Morocco — Security concerns ranging from terrorism and refugees to maritime piracy and poaching prevention are part of the talks at a conference of senior air force commanders from across Africa and the United States that opened Monday.

“We understand that security across the African continent is vital, not only to you, but it is vital to the United States of America as well,” Stephanie Miley, charge d’affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Morocco, told more than two dozen participants of the 8th African Air Chiefs Symposium.

“That is why the symposium is dedicated to developing a broader understanding of our common threats and mutual interests,” Miley said.

The two-day forum is hosted jointly by the Royal Moroccan Air Force and U.S. Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa, which is represented by its commander, Gen. Tod Wolters.

Le Maroc participe à l’exercice Flintlock 2019 avec des instructeurs militaires

Intent to have successful exercise and leave behind capability with partner forces. Focused on operation level. Opportunity to share lessons we've learned with our African partners. Niger and Morocco will also have trainers in this year's Flintlock. #AFHubPress

Press Briefing on Flintlock 2019 Joint Military Exercise with U.S. Ambassador to Burkina Faso Andrew Young and U.S. Air Force Major General Mark Hicks.

.......
MAJ. GEN. HICKS:......So our intent is not just to have another successful exercise, but to leave behind real capability with our partner forces. We’re going to focus again this year, like we did last year, on operational-level command and control of tactical units, truly simulating the environment and activities on the ground in both the G5 Sahel and the MNJTF. And just a note about the history of Flintlock: this is a decades-old western SOF training activity, by which western, primarily U.S., Canadian, British, and French SOF partners train SOF across Europe, and now with European SOF well-established, we’ve migrated this activity to the continent of Africa, where we and the western SOF community have the opportunity to share some of the lessons and experiences we learned with our African partners. This will be the first year that some of our African partners who’ve been trained by western SOF over the years will also participate as training cadres. So I look forward to seeing Niger and Moroccan SOF trainers as well as trainees in this year’s Flintlock.
