Sherry Adams, left, North Dakota state health officer and Southwestern District Health Unit executive officer, and U.S. Army Lt. Col. Mandy Iverson, second from the left, a plans officer with the North Dakota National Guard Domestic Operations Branch, pause to pose with members of Togo’s National Civil Protection Agency at a local medical treatment facility in Agome-Glozou, Togo, June 15, 2026. They are donating medical supplies, specifically syringes and surgical gloves, as well as sunglasses for patients recovering from recent cataract surgery.
This visit coincided with Operation Lignite Coast 2026, a training event conducted June 8-18, 2026, in various locations in Togo, focused on improving the Togolese government’s capacity to handle a variety of emergency scenarios. It culminated in a three-day field exercise that provided the NCPA’s civilian and military personnel with practical application of training concepts they previously learned in emergency response. Planning Lignite Coast began in December 2025 and involved significant collaboration with the North Dakota National Guard, Togo’s state partner through the National Guard’s State Partnership Program.
