    Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa

    U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to various companies from Task Force Iron Gray, in support of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), and French Soldiers assigned to the 5th Overseas Interarms Regiment (5e RIAOM) participated in a joint combined arms live-fire training exercise at the Djiboutian Range Complex, Djibouti, Aug. 11, 2021. This joint training exercise allowed both French and U.S. forces to work together to build regional cooperation and improve each nation's fighting force.

    CJTF-HOA, operating from Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, regularly trains with and works alongside allied and partner nations, coalition forces, and interagency/intergovernmental organizations to achieve a unified effort in East Africa.
