A Senegalese Companie de Fusilier Marine commando fires his weapons during a live-fire exercise Sept. 17, 2013. The U.S. Marines and sailors of Africa Partnership Station 13 recently completed a weeklong engagement with Senegalese Marines to further promote maritime security and partnership in the area. Africa Partnership Station, now in its sixth year, has seen a significant improvement in its partners' capabilities since the start of the program. Africa Partnership Station is a combined exercise between U.S., Dutch, Spanish, British Marines and their African partners that strengthens partnerships to improve safety and security both at sea and ashore, working together for a shared common goal that helps foster mutual trust and understanding. The international task force of Marines embarked the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) landing platform dock HNLMS Rotterdam (L800) Aug. 30 as part of a three-month comprehensive effort to strengthen capabilities with African partner forces in West Africa.
