Bennett started his military career as a culinary specialist in the U.S. Navy, where he obtained the rank of Culinary Specialist 2nd Class, but was convinced to conduct an inter-service transfer to the U.S. Coast Guard after observing U.S. Coast Guard TACLET demonstrations during his time in San Diego. Now, he serves as a maritime interdiction expert and an instructor at Obangame Express 2024.
During Exercise Obangame Express 2024, the 13th rendition of the exercise, partner and allied forces collaborate to enhance collective maritime law enforcement capabilities, bolster national and regional security in West Africa, and foster greater interoperability among U.S., African, and multinational partners. The U.S. routinely exercises with like-minded nations in Africa to build enduring relationships and combined capacity to ensure and safety and security of the regional maritime environment.
