The New Year also brings new challenges and opportunities for the Marines of 3/14. For the first time in many years the battalion will find itself conducting individual unit AT’s. By now you are all aware 3/14 was tasked with providing a firing battery and the HQ element in support of African Lion 2011 in Morocco commencing in May 2011. That battery, India battery, as well as Marines from HQ battery were identified and are concurrently conducting planning and making preparations to support.

The current focus of Headquarters Marines is to support the upcoming African Lion Exercise in Morocco. This exercise not only allows us to do training side by side with Moroccan forces, it allows us to do essential cultural outreach to an essential Middle East partner. Approximately half of our Battery will travel to Morocco in early summer to support this endeavor.
Family Readiness is a constant challenge across

Edit modération: Tu peux reformuler ta phrase on comprend pas merci

comment la reformuler mieux?, je pensais que l'exercice comprenait des manoeuvres maroco-américaines, mais je n'ai pas trouvé d'infos dessus. on a le droit de s'interroger, surtout que cette édition voyait une plus grande participation des troupes US.

C'est pas parceque toi, tu vois rien...qu'il n'y a rien....raisonnement un peu simpliste

raisonnement un peu simpliste?, je ne dis pas qu'il n'y a rien. mais si tu avances qu'il y'a eu quelque chose, il faut quand même apporter un début de preuve, si les photos sont interdites pas les FAR, on doit bien pouvoir trouver le nom de l'unité ou même juste la description des manœuvres communes!.

je suis déçu de ne rien trouver, mais je ne peux pas avancer de choses dont je ne suis pas certain. vous le demandez bien assez souvent dans les autres fil

Je dis pas qu'il y a eu quelque chose, je dis seulement qu'il y a eu 2000 GI'S venus prendre des photos au maroc, puis sont reparti....

Wisconsin National Guard soldiers deployed to Morocco for exercises

(WEAU) - Part of a Wisconsin National Guard Company has been deployed to Morocco for a military exercise.

The National Guard says 1158th Transportation Company out of Beloit sent 56 soldiers to take part in 2 19-day training sessions. The group includes several soldiers from Black River Falls. The unit's commander says they helped train members of the Moroccan military and hauled equipment in support of the exercise African Lion 11.

The 1158th Transportation Company, based in Beloit with a detachment in Black River Falls, sent 56 Soldiers over the course of two 19-day annual training sessions to participate in Exercise African Lion 11, a bilateral exercise scheduled by the U.S. African Command. The exercise includes peacekeeping operations, humanitarian civic assistance operations, and construction projects.

According to Capt. Michael Laube, unit commander, preparation for annual training began in April by convoying 10 M1070 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) truck systems and supporting vehicles to Norfolk, Va., for shipment to Morocco. Once in Morocco, the 1158th linked up with Army Task Force 24 and took part in a joint logistics effort with Navy and Marine personnel, unloading all vehicles from the transport ship at the Port of Tan Tan and stage them in a base camp at Camp Draa. This involved running convoys over difficult mountain terrain to an austere location in the Saharan Desert.

The 1158th also provided HET system training to Moroccan service members.

"They currently have the trucks, but not the trailers," said Sgt. Brandon Millner. "We're getting them some good training on that."

The exercise itself involved more than 2,000 U.S. troops and 900 members of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces. The 1158th supported U.S. Marines, hauling a variety of equipment to include M1 Abrams tanks. Following the exercise, the base camp was dismantled and all equipment convoyed back to Tan Tan for the voyage home. The 1158th racked up 44,782 accident-free miles moving 74 pieces of equipment.

"I am extremely proud of the Soldiers' efforts over the past two months," Laube said. "[They completed] a difficult mission with 100 percent success and a high level of professionalism and enthusiasm. The 1158th represented the state of Wisconsin and the National Guard very well."

Millner compared their training environment to Iraq.

"Dusty, sandy, and a long ways away from home," he said. "Didn't have any showers for quite a while."

The 1158th's annual training actually concluded Thursday (June 30) when the unit brought its last remaining HET systems back to Wisconsin from Norfolk.
