    A meeting or briefing is taking place in what appears to be an official government or administrative office. Two U.S. Army soldiers in camouflage uniforms are seated at a conference table alongside civilian attendees, while a man in civilian clothes stands and appears to be presenting. A framed portrait of what appears to be a head of state is visible on the wall in the background.

    U.S. Army Lt. Col. Al Roehrich, second from the left, a lead planner for the North Dakota National Guard, provides feedback through Richard Obilale, right, a translator, at a tabletop exercise during Operation Lignite Coast 2026 in Lome, Togo, June 11, 2026. Obilale is translating Roehrich’s notes to the team representing members of Togo’s National Civil Protection Agency, not pictured, who have just completed a brief on how they would resolve a notional incident involving multiple high-capacity canoes (carrying up to 60 people) capsizing. Building on course content, that scenario will be also 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.
