Spanish Army Engineers Training Senegalese Engineers
March 11, 2016




Spain’s Engineer Command (MING) continues its work in Senegal within the framework of cooperative security operation that Spain has with the African country. A team of four engineers teaches a course on construction of horizontal Senegalese military infrastructure.

During the past week the subjects of surveying, mapping, earth moving machinery, road construction machinery, road construction procedures and project management were developed. Besides the development of theoretical sessions, practical surveying (start station an optical level and total station surveying two areas and rethinking the foundations of a work designed in the classroom) were performed, marking corridor (horizontal and vertical alignments and mass diagram by Brückner method), design of drainage works and IT AutoCAD Civil 3D (bending point cloud and design corridor) application. Currently, the Spanish engineers are teaching road construction procedures and project management.

The completion of the activity is scheduled for March 11 with a small ceremony in which a certificate of attendance will be awarded. Thereafter, until June, MING other teams will participate in this mission.

Command of Engineers has been teaching courses the Senegalese army since the last months of 2015 in other specific, such as explosive ordnance, surveys, implementation of road and airport infrastructure, collection, purification and water supply areas, transportation management rail, etc.

Senegal parades new Chinese armour

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
06 April 2016






Senegal unveiled its new NORINCO WMA301 Assaulter armoured fire-support vehicles during its independence day celebrations on 4 April.

Already in service with Cameroon, Chad, and Djibouti, the Assaulter is essentially a WZ551 6x6 armoured personnel carrier (APC) fitted with a turret for a 105 mm gun. It has similar firepower to a tank, but is more affordable and easier to maintain, albeit at the expense of armour protection.

The main parade in Dakar featured 12 Assaulters, as well as a WZ551 command vehicle.

The independence day celebrations also gave an indication of the numbers of RAM Mk 3 light armoured vehicles that Senegal has recently acquired. Footage and photographs of the main parade in Dakar indicated that 24 took part, while video footage from another parade through St Louis showed at least three more, including an ambulance variant.

Made by the Ramta division of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the RAM Mk 3 can carry up to eight fully equipped personnel. IAI points to its reliability and off-road capabilities as its main selling points and says its monocoque structure makes it a more flexible platform than rivals that use the chassis from other vehicles.

The Israeli influence could also be seen in the weapons carried by elite forces in the Dakar parade, which included Galil Sniper SA rifles, Negev light machine guns, and Tavor assault rifles. Regular Senegalese soldiers normally use M16A1/A2 rifles and M60 machine guns.

Some of the Senegalese Army's new 155 mm TRF1 towed howitzers also took part in the parade. The country received eight of the guns from France in 2011 along with Renault TRM 10000 artillery tractors.

The Gendarmerie, meanwhile, paraded five Engesa EE-11 Urutu armoured personnel carriers as well as two mobile vehicle scanners.

Senegal, US Sign Defense Cooperation Agreement
May 3, 2016



The Government of the United States and the Government of the Republic of Senegal signed a Defense Cooperation Agreement on May 2, 2016 at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The U.S government was represented by Ambassador James P. Zumwalt (on left in photo) while the Government of Senegal was represented by Minister of Foreign Affairs Mankeur Ndiaye (on right in photo).

The signing of the Defense Cooperation Agreement reflects the many security interests shared by both countries. These shared interests, and the benefits of close U.S.-Senegal defense cooperation, include regular joint military training exercises, but also the ability to respond to crises, whether outbreak of disease, natural disaster or terrorist attack. A practical example of this cooperation was Senegal’s decision to allow access to Senegalese facilities for military aircraft to transport U.S. military troops, health care workers and supplies to Liberia. This collaboration helped control the 2014 Ebola outbreak stopping a cross-border threat to both Senegal and the international community.

The new bilateral agreement will facilitate a closer relationship between the two militaries and will provide the legal foundation to enable a broad range of joint defense-related activities, strategically enhancing our security partnership and allowing the United States to respond quickly and effectively to emerging crises.

“Senegal is one of our most important partners in West Africa. Our shared commitment to democracy, security, and prosperity forms the bedrock of this close partnership,” said Ambassador Zumwalt. “Today represents another important step in our friendship and ensures that we will continue to closely collaborate on shared security interests.”
