U.S. Soldiers assigned to 3rd Battalion, 197th Field Artillery Regiment, New Hampshire Army National Guard, train members of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces on the functionality of a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) during African Lion 2025 (AL25) near Cap Draa, Morocco, May 14, 2025. Training with the HIMARS enhances precision strike capabilities, interoperability with allied forces and rapid deployment, ensuring effective joint operations in future multinational missions. AL25, the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) on behalf of the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win. (U.S. Army video by Staff. Sgt. Jenise Burnette)
