U.S. Army Soldiers stand in formation alongside multinational partner forces during the opening ceremony of African Lion 2025 (AL25) at Centre d’Entraînement Tactique 2 (CET2) in Dodji, Senegal, May 4, 2025. The ceremony marked the start of the Senegalese portion of the exercise and emphasized regional cooperation and collective security. AL25 is set to be the largest annual military exercise in Africa, bringing together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and about 10,000 troops. Led by SETAF-AF, on behalf of U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM), the exercise will take place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia. AL25 is designed to restore the warrior ethos, sharpen lethality, and strengthen military readiness alongside our African partners and allies. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight, and win. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Solomon Navarro)
