A Marine from Joint Task Force African Lion 2012 from 4th Marine Logisitics Group, 4th Marine Division, directs an M1A1 Abrams tank as part of a massive maritime offload at the Port of Agadir, in Morocco, April 5. “We unloaded 169 peices of rolling stock assets from the [Maritime Pre-positioning Force] in under 12 hours,” said Gunnery Sgt. Fermin Rodriguez, logisitics chief, JTF AL-12. AL-12 is a U.S. African Command-sponsored, Marine Forces Africa-led exercise designed to improve interoperability and mutual understanding of U.S. and Moroccan military tactics, techniques and procedures.
