Civilian members of North Dakota’s disaster-response community and North Dakota National Guard Soldiers receive a brief at a tabletop exercise during Operation Lignite Coast 2026 in Lome, Togo, June 11, 2026. Officials representing Togo’s National Civil Protection Agency (not pictured) are presenting how they would respond to a notional incident involving a cholera outbreak. 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. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Shane Klestinski)
