U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Larry Coleman, of Columbia, S.C., right, communications senior enlisted adviser to the Armed Forces of Liberia, explains communication check procedures to AFL soldiers attached to the Communications Platoon, AFL Logistical Command, during a communications exercise at Edwin Binyah Kesselly Military Barracks March 6. The focus of the exercise was on the successful deployment of a di-pole antenna, a device used to construct rapid communication systems in austere environments. AFL electronic communications technicians are tasked to provide long haul communication capabilities in any type of terrain, to include jungle, seaborne and urban environments, for approximately 2,000 members of the AFL and Liberian Coast Guard. The Communications Platoon are trained by members of Operation Onward Liberty, 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. Coleman is deployed from 83rd Network Operations Squadron, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., where he is the non-commissioned officer in charge of quality assurance.
