Burton Francisco, assistant adjutant general and commander, Michigan National Guard; and Maj. Gen. Charles Hooper, director, J5, Strategic Planning and Policy, United States Africa Command, participate in the military ball festivities during the Armed Forces Day celebration in downtown Monrovia, Liberia, Feb. 11. The evening ball was the final event in a weeklong celebration of the history of armed forces in Liberia. This year’s Liberian Armed Forces Day theme was “Armed Forces of Liberia supports the foundation for long-term security and economic development in Liberia.” The newly formed AFL currently has about 2,000 personnel, consisting of various Army units spread out around the country, as well as a small and well-trained coast guard. Capacity building within the AFL is conducted by many international partners, including the United States’ Operation Onward Liberty, the United Nations Mission in Liberia and the Economic Community of West African States.
