CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (August 27, 2021) U.S. Navy Construction Mechanic 1st Class Christopher Rodriguez, from Baldwin Park, Calif., assigned to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 11 (MSRON-11), Combined Task Group 68.6, dips an Expeditionary Warfare (EXW) pin into a helmet mixed with sand, dirt, salt water, and river water during a pinning ceremony on base, Aug. 27, 2021. During the ceremony, a helmet signifying all the warriors who served before is passed along and filled with the following elements: Sand, representing all the beaches we have crossed; dirt, the memory of the Navy’s proud history; salt water, the reminder of the naval genesis of the sea; and river water, reminding us that the Navy owns the inland waters – together representing the proud accomplishments of U.S. Naval history. Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti (CLDJ) serves as an expeditionary base for U.S. military forces providing support to ships, aircraft and personnel that ensure security throughout Europe, Africa and Southwest Asia. CLDJ enables maritime and combat operations in the Horn of Africa while fostering positive U.S.-Africa relations. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Jacob Sippel)
