An African student fires an M240 machine gun from a Special Operations Craft–Riverine boat as part of the Lake Chad Basin Initiative, Nov. 15, 2017, at the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. NAVSCIATTS is working through the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership to facilitate the inaugural iteration of the Lake Chad Basin Initiative. The objective of the iteration is to increase partner nations’ abilities to project force against violent extremist organization safe havens within the Lake Chad region using continental United States based maintenance and leadership training prior to the delivery of mission-essential equipment to security forces within the region. Follow-on country training through mobile training teams will reinforce and further the capabilities gained from the CONUS training. (DoD photo by Michael Bottoms)
