Doru Pavel, a native of Mundelein, Ill., Operation ONWARD LIBERTY Armed Forces Training Command adviser, during a visit to Camp Ware, Liberia on a recent visit to the country Feb. 10. Hooper came to Liberia to inspect the progress of the AFL and its U.S. military mentorship program, Operation ONWARD LIBERTY. OOL is a group of approximately 50 U.S. military personnel who mentor and advise the AFL in order to develop a national military that is responsible, operationally capable, respectful of civilian authority and the rule of law and is a force for good among the Liberian people. While in the country, Hooper also attended events celebrating the 55th annual Liberian Armed Forces Day, including a military parade and a military ball. Other Armed Forces Day activities included a street cleanup and medical outreach, church services, an intra-AFL soccer match and a symposium regarding the status of the AFL in today’s Liberia. Pavel is deployed from 6th Marine Regiment, Camp Lejeune, N.C., where he is a company commander.
