U.S. Army Reserve Spc. Jon De Jesus – Torres, a survey team member with the 773rd Civil Support Team, 7th Mission Support Command, receives a mission brief from the incident commander from the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR,) Salvage and Rescue Unit, ahead of a CBRN demonstration at the Port of Agadir, Morocco, Jun. 9, 2023, as part of African Lion.
De Jesus – Torres and two Moroccan soldiers comprised the joint reconnaissance team. “I was the team lead for our mitigation team, said De Jesus – Torres. “Our role is to enter the simulated ‘hot zone,’ using detection equipment to identify potential contaminants, contain any hazardous material, and process the area, providing feedback and photos of the area and our activities to the operations team so they can make the best decision for our next steps in responding to the event.”
The 773rd is a technical HAZMAT reaction team, the only one of its kind in the U.S. Army Europe - Africa area of operations. Exercises such as African Lion provide opportunities for this specialized Army Reserve unit to assess, develop, and train alongside Allies and partners, getting the repetitions needed to fight and win together, on the modern-day battlefield, and illustrates the vital role the U.S. Army Reserve plays in the success of unilateral military operations around the globe. 18 nations and approximately 8,000 personnel will participate in African Lion 2023, U.S. Africa Command's largest annual combined, joint exercise that will take place in multiple countries to include Morocco from May 13 - June 18, 2023.
