U.S. Army Cpl. Joel Munson, 240th Combat Sustainment Company (240th CSC), 95th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 16th Sustainment Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, based in Baumholder, Germany, discusses the water purification process during African Lion 2025 (AL25) at the Port of Gabes, Tunisia, April 25, 2025. U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 240th CSC extracted Mediterranean Sea water, purifying it into potable water for units supporting the exercise. AL25 is set to be the largest annual military exercise in Africa, bringing together over 40 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. (Video by U.S Army Reserve Sgt. 1st Class Abel M.
