Za3ma African lion va devenir tunisien ?

J’attend le moment où on affirmera que African Lion n’a jamais été un exercice bilatérale marocco-americain

Tunisia will host with Morocco, Senegal and Spain the multinational exercise "African Lion", scheduled for next June, General Christopher G. Cavoli, U.S. Army Commander for Europe and Africa said Tuesday.

Speaking at a media teleconference, organised to present these exercises, General Cavoli said the African Lion will be a good opportunity to enhance the interoperability of the military forces of the countries taking part.

"This exercise aims, essentially, to strengthen military cooperation between participating countries to respond to crises (conflicts) that may arise as well as terrorist threats to countries in the region," he added.

He further indicated that these maneuvers will include air-land, naval and air exercises, in addition to medical actions for the inhabitants of the regions concerned.

Major General and Deputy Commander of the U.S. Army for Europe and Africa, Andrew M. Rohling said Tunisia will host the majority of maneuvers that will take place during the exercise "African Lion".

Rohlin said Tunisia is "a strategic military ally for the United States".

Cancelled in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the new edition of the African Lion will see the participation of nearly 10 thousand soldiers of several countries, including the United States, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom, said the Commander.

General Christopher G. Cavoli, U.S. Army Commander for Europe and Africa and his deputy Andrew M. Rohling, will visit Tunis on Wednesday to discuss preparations for the "African Lion", a source at the Ministry of National Defence told TAP.

The U.S. Army decided in November 2020 to merge the military commands in Europe and Africa into the new U.S. Army Command for Europe and Africa.

The move aimed to increase command and control effectiveness, flexibility and the ability to conduct large-scale multinational and joint exercises.

Ok I see le format change pour devenir multinationale sur plusieurs pays en même temps

Ca fait deja plusieurs années qu il y a des exercices connexes dans la Tunisie et le Sénégal ,mais l exercice principal se fait toujours au Maroc .

C'est comme dans le V4 avec l'Exercice "Slovensky Stit" ( Bouclier Slovaque) qui a la base était un exercice Americano-Slovaque avant d'etre ouvert au Hongrois, au Polonais, etc...

Question: Yes, hi, good morning from Washington, D.C. and thanks for doing this. I actually wanted to ask you, General – you did say you’re going to Tunisia, if you can tell us more about that trip and who you’ll be meeting there and military interests and such. And I know AFRICOM was just in Sudan. How is that cooperation going with the new transitional authority there? Will we see any new [inaudible] naval base perhaps in Sudan? Thank you.

General Cavoli: Thank you, ma’am. I’ll start with a couple of framing comments and then turn it over to General Rohling. But before I do that, on your second question about Sudan, I’m sorry, I haven’t spoken with General Townsend or his team since their visit. So I would be – I would be an imperfect messenger on what transpired there, so I’ll defer to him on that if you don’t mind.

With regard to Tunisia, we’re very excited. Tunisia is an extremely important partner of the United States, as you know, and it is an extremely important focus country for the U.S. Army – U.S. AFRICOM, therefore for the U.S. Army in Africa. We’re going to meet with the chief of the Tunisian land forces, General El Ghoul, and we are going to become acquainted with his operations, his modernization investments programs. We’re also going to spend some time at some of the schools that we work on with them as well as their special forces command, and we’re going to spend a little bit of time visiting our Security Force Assistance Brigade, which works with a variety of different levels of command of the Tunisian army. So it should be a – it should be a great trip. For General Rohling perhaps it will be a revisit, but for me it will also be the first time I’ve visited Tunisia, so I very much look forward to seeing (a) that beautiful country, but (b) to tying in with such a critical security partner on the African continent.

Andy, you want to fill —

Major General Rohling: Sir, as you kind of touched on at the beginning, Tunisia is of course a strong partner in counterterrorism efforts, and it’s one of our major non-NATO allies in the region. It’s a pivotal player in the issues that confront the broader Middle East and North African region today. So also, as you mentioned with the Security Force Assistance Brigade, it is our largest Security Force Assistance Brigade effort in Africa right now, they’ve been there now for several months and in fact it’s also our flagship Security Force Assistance Brigade effort because they’re – they are starting and conducting training that we just haven’t been able to do so far. So a little bit of learning going on there, and we’re hoping to get the lessons learned and with the great partnership we have right now with the Tunisian army, with them. And lastly, on a very – on a military and an American standpoint, we’re going to lay a wreath at the American cemetery there as well to pay our respects for our fallen soldiers from World War II, so I’m really looking forward to that event as well.

Question: Yes, hi. I hope you get there well. Just two follow-up questions, one on the global force posture review. Have there been any impacts or changes as you go forward with the consolidation, maybe things that had been put on hold? And then on African Lion, could you sort of walk us through if you’re going to be using the SFABs to help sort of lay the groundwork for this exercise? I know in the Indo-Pacific, with the SFABs you talked about using these troops to help make it ready for the exercise. So could you sort of walk us through that? Thanks.

Major General Rohling: Yes, sir. Thank you. So first, just to reiterate, we – the Army loves acronyms. We call it the SFAB for Security Force Assistance Brigade, but in each country it’s really a Security Force Assistance Team, so a small element of our soldiers that are deployed in each one of those countries goes to conduct training with our allies. And in the case of Tunisia, for example, Tunisia, where we’re heading tomorrow, one of the things we’re going to talk with them about is exactly how our Security Force Assistance Team there is contributing into African Lion, which is in Tunisia very significantly. They’re setting the framework right now in their joint operations center and in their artillery schools and their MI school. And so they will be the conduit for the majority of African Lion ’21 activity in Tunisia through our SFAT out of Tunis. And so it’s a huge role for us, and so with that, I think that’s it on that one.
