1st Lt. Hubert Williams, Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Africa 13 adjutant from Brooklyn, N.Y., reviews an award citation at Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy, April 4, 2013. Williams was evacuated by U.S. Marines from Sierra Leone in 1997 after the capital, Freetown, was overthrown by rebels during the Sierra Leone civil war. His experience with the Marines led him to join the Marine Corps two weeks after the evacuation, and he is now deployed with Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa 13. Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa strengthens U.S. Marine Corps Forces Africa and U.S. Africa Command’s ability to assist partner nations in addressing their security challenges. The approximately 150 Marines and Sailors conduct security force assistance, military-to-military engagements and are trained to provide support to crisis response. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
