U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Luke Jones, assigned to Maneuver Advisor Team 2112, 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade (2SFAB), coaches Senegalese Armed Forces soldiers on the firing line during marksmanship training at the Centre d’Entraînement Tactique 2 (CET2) in Dodji, Senegal, May 5, 2025. The engagement supported the first day of live-fire range operations during African Lion 2025 (AL25) and focused on improving tactical proficiency and small-unit lethality among partner forces. AL25, the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) on behalf of the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. 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)
