Petty Officer 2nd Class Kori Gillis, along with members of the U.S. Naval Forces Europe rock band "Flagship", perform for a crowd at the Theatre de Verdure de Pekine here, Oct. 10. The band is in Senegal as part of Africa Partnership Station and is embarked aboard the Dutch amphibious ship HNLMS Johan De Witt. Johan De Witt is the first European-led APS platform and is augmented by staff from Belgium, Portugal and the United States. APS, originally a U.S. Navy initiative, is now an international effort aimed at improving maritime safety and security for the continent of Africa through training and other collaborative activities with African partner countries.
