African Lion 12 ready to roar: Marine Forces Africa conducts final planning conference

2/7/2012  By GySgt. Will Price  , Marine Forces Africa
AGADIR, Morocco   — Marine Forces Africa conducted the final planning conference for African Lion 12 at several locations in Agadir, Morocco, to include the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces southern headquarters facilities, Jan. 23-27.
Exercise African Lion is a bilateral, theater security cooperation exercise led by MFA and is conducted annually between the U.S. military and the Kingdom of Morocco to further develop joint and combined capabilities.

During two weeks of intense training scheduled for mid-April, Task Force African Lion is planning to conduct a variety of exercises, which will include: field and aviation training, humanitarian civic assistance, amphibious landings, intelligence capacity building, and command post and peace support operations.

According to Capt. Jim Philpot, MFA lead planner for AL-12, this conference was crucial to the success of the mission. This was the third and final conference for all forces involved prior to the beginning of military exercises.

This is also the fourth year in row, MFA has taken the lead for this exercise, since its inception in 2008.

"We are honored to have the opportunity to continue this essential partnership between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States. African Lion is our largest exercise on the continent that provides military personnel from both countries a venue to plan, coordinate and execute military operations while strengthening bonds of professionalism and friendship,” Philpot said. “Continuing to build on the progress of previous African Lion exercises is essential to evolving and adding complexity to the exercise. Now we are ready to see it all come to fruition.”

The U.S. and Moroccan armed forces will do everything from combined arms fire and maneuver ranges, aerial refueling and deliveries of supplies, to command post and non-lethal weapons training.

"There are a lot of moving parts to the conference and the exercise, but we are putting it all together," said Mike Hurst, MFA assistant lead planner. "We are committed to showing AFRICOM and the Kingdom of Morocco our commitment to excellence."

Col. Roger Garay, commander of the 14th Marine Regiment, will lead Task Force African Lion, comprised of more than 1,200 Marines, sailors and soldiers. Col. Maj. Brahim Hassani is the AL-12 lead planner for more than 900 Royal Moroccan soldiers throughout the exercise.

“Working with the Moroccans is a great opportunity to exchange both militarily and culturally,” said Garay. “The planning and training has hit all the targets with precision. With the addition of the 24th MEU [Marine Expeditionary Unit] we are more mission capable than ever.”

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

“Our intent is to see more than 1,000 patients a day throughout five cities near Agadir,” said Lt. Cmdr. Chuck Kreager, lead medical officer for AL-12. “As well we hope to provide prescription eyeglasses for more than 1,600 Moroccan children.”

After long days of planning and reviewing all of the concepts of operations the week concluded on Friday at an official signing of execution documents.

Both Garay and Hassani, along with lead elements of the U.S. Embassy in Morocco, MFA, the MEU, and the aviation squadrons made the future of African Lion 12 official.

After six months of dedicated planning and coordination, African Lion 12 is ready to roar.

Un hélicoptère américain s'écrase dans le sud du Maroc, 2 morts

Créé le 11-04-2012 à 22h47

RABAT (Reuters) - Un hélicoptère de l'armée américaine s'est écrasé dans le sud du Maroc au cours d'un exercice militaire, faisant deux morts et deux blessés parmi les soldats américains, a-t-on appris mercredi auprès de l'ambassade américaine à Rabat.

L'hélicoptère, un Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, a été victime d'un "accident", a précisé un porte-parole de l'ambassade, confirmant des informations de médias marocains.

Un millier de soldats venus des Etats-Unis se trouvent au Maroc pour des exercices menés en coopération avec les forces armées marocaines.

Selon Radio Plus, l'accident a eu lieu dans la province méridionale de Tan Tan.

Ce drame pourait pouser les responsables a suspendre l'exercice

Ca arrive mirage, a moins qu'ils veulent faire come les britishs que je doute fort , le zinc a son petit historique de crash quant meme:

Citation :

• 11 Juin 1991 : un V-22 s'écrase au centre d'essai de Boeing durant une démonstration. Les deux pilotes réussissent à s'éjecter mais l'avion est gravement endommagé.
• 20 Juillet 1992 : un V-22 s'écrase en mer au large de la base des Marines de Quantico. Sept hommes sont tués. La cause de l'accident est un incendie moteur provoqué par un défaut mécanique. Des modifications seront ordonnées pour que le problème ne puisse pas se reproduire.
• 8 Avril 2000 : un MV-22 des Marines s'écrase près de Tucson durant une mission simulée d'évacuation. 19 Marines périssent dans l'accident. Officiellement ce n'est pas l'avion qui est en cause mais l'équipage qui a été victime d'une perte de portance due à un taux de descente beaucoup trop élevé.
• 11 Décembre 2000 : un MV-22 des Marines s'écrase en Caroline du Nord durant une mission de nuit. Quatre Marines sont tués. Tous les Osprey sont immédiatement cloués au sol jusqu'à ce qu'on découvre la cause de l'accident. C'est un défaut hydraulique doublé d'une erreur logicielle qui a provoqué l'accident. Au lieu de compenser, le système informatique a aggravé le problème, rendant l'avion incontrôlable.

Maroc : deux Marines américains tués et deux autres grièvement blessés lors d'un exercice



Deux Marines américains ont été tués et deux autres ont été grièvement blessés, mercredi, lors de l’écrasement d’un aéronef hybride dans le sud du Maroc, ont annoncé des responsables militaires américains. L’appareil, un MV-22 Osprey, s’est écrasé lors d’un entraînement militaire au sud-ouest d’Agadir, après avoir décollé du navire d’assaut américain USS Iwo Jima, selon le capitaine Kevin Schultz, un porte-parole militaire en poste à Washington. Le capitaine Schultz a expliqué que l’appareil Osprey, qui décolle et atterrit comme un hélicoptère et qui vole comme un avion, participait à un exercice militaire américano-marocain qui a lieu chaque année depuis 2008. L’exercice a commencé le 7 avril et se poursuivra jusqu’au 18 avril. Il implique 1000 Marines américains et 200 soldats, marins et pilotes, qui mènent l’exercice avec environ 900 soldats marocains.
