CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (August 27, 2021) U.S. Navy Engineman 2nd Class Halong Ha (left), wipes mud across the face of Electronics Technician 2nd Class Jimmy Nhan Nguyen, from Westminster, Calif., both assigned to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 11 (MSRON-11), Combined Task Group 68.6, during an Expeditionary Warfare (EXW) 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; saltwater, 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)
