    Officials representing Togo’s National Civil Protection Agency brief civilian members of North Dakota’s disaster-response community and North Dakota National Guard Soldiers at a tabletop exercise during Operation Lignite Coast 2026 in Lome, Togo, June 11, 2026. Building on course content, their presentation on how they would resolve a notional incident involving multiple high-capacity canoes (carrying up to 60 people) capsizing will also be relevant during a practical exercise to follow in the next week.

    This TTX culminated a three-day academics portion within Operation Lignite Coast 2026, an overarching training event conducted June 8-18, 2026, focused on improving the Togolese government’s capacity to handle a variety of emergency scenarios.
