    African Lion 2025 opens in Senegal, strengthening regional security cooperation

    Service members from the United States, Mauritania, Senegal and The Netherlands hold their respective national flags during the opening ceremony of African Lion 2025 (AL25) at Centre d’Entraînement Tactique 2 (CET2) in Dodji, Senegal, May 4, 2025. The multinational ceremony highlighted unity, shared purpose, and the official start of the Senegalese portion of the exercise. 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.
