AGADIR, Morocco --
Marine Corps Forces Africa conducted the final planning conference for African Lion 13 at the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces southern headquarters facilities in Agadir, Morocco, Jan. 29 – Feb. 1.

AL-13 is a U.S. African Command-sponsored, MFA-led exercise that involves various types of training including command post, live-fire and maneuvering, peace-keeping operations, an intelligence capacity building seminar, amphibious operations, aerial refueling/low-level flight training, as well as medical and dental assistance projects.

In preparation for AL-13, JTF Marines and sailors from 4th Marine Logistics Group, Marine Forces Reserve, in cooperation with teams from U.S. Transportation Command, Marine Forces Africa, and II Marine Expeditionary Force, will conducted a large-scale offload of both a Marine prepositioned ship and a commercial shipping vessel at the Port of Agadir, in early April.

“This is a great opportunity to train reserve Marines and Sailors in executing offload operations,” Lt. Col. Peter Mahoney, officer-in-charge, for AL-13 Port Operations. “Many exercises involving MPF simply offload equipment, stage it, and then re-embark it. For AL-13, we will offload more than 200 vehicles and containers, conduct throughput to locations more 200 miles away, use the equipment, then retrograde and reconstitute the equipment aboard the ship, all within about a 24-day period. Rarely does an MLG get to flex and test its landing support and logistics muscles like this.”

Formerly a bi-lateral exercise between joint U.S. services and the Kingdom of Morocco Royal Armed Forces, African Lion is opening its doors internationally to military representatives from more than 14 different partner nations.

“In keeping with the guidance of General Ham (AFRICOM), the Embassy has invited a host of nations this year to expand African Lion's into a true multi-lateral exercise,” said U.S. Army Maj. Barrett McNabb, U.S. Embassy Rabat liaison officer. “The intent is to invite our partner nations from Europe and Africa to act as observers this year and expand to participation in the years ahead.”

Already the largest exercise for U.S. African Command on the continent and growing, this year Task Force African Lion commander Col. Roger Garay brings back his Marines and sailors from 14th Marine Regiment, out of Fort Worth, Texas, for their unit's third consecutive AL iteration. Col. Maj. Brahim Hassani is the lead planner for more than 900 Royal Moroccan Royal Armed Forces throughout the exercise.

With a wealth of knowledge working with African Lion, both Garay and Hassani, have brought an added dynamic to this year's exercise that plans to 'rocket' the exercise into history.

“Coming back for a third year has created a dynamic of continuity which has enabled us to take African Lion even further than ever,” said Garay. “This year the comfort level of both U.S. and Moroccan leadership has enabled our team to pursue events of greater complexity, namely the introduction of rockets.. The launching of HIMARS will take our U.S./Moroccan team to greater limits in terms of our coordination and interoperability.”

The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, is the Marine Corps' premier artillery system, accurately engaging targets over great distances and under all weather conditions. With high volumes of lethal rocket and missile fire, the HIMARS can deliver precise strikes from more than 40 miles away.

More than 1,400 U.S. military personnel will arrive in April joining more than 900 Moroccan RAF in various regions of the Kingdom of Morocco to take part in the annual exercise, designed to improve interoperability and mutual understanding of each nation's military tactics, techniques and procedures.

Members of MFR's 4th Medical Battalion and 4th Dental Bn., will team up with the Utah National Guard Medical Command to provide medical, dental, pediatric and optometry care to thousands of Moroccans throughout the exercise.

“To not only exercise a fully operable trauma capability in a field environment and share medical exchanges with the FAR (Forces Armes Royales),” said U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Jeremy Wilkinson, Task Force AL-13 medical planner, “but be able to give care to so many Moroccan citizens who don't have the ready access to the medical care they may need is a great challenge and honor.”

With the signing of the official minutes by Hassani and Garay, and leadership from the U.S. Embassy and MFA, all the African Lion 13 elements were lined up and ready to conduct the exercise.

“I am very excited to complete our final exercise conference. The Moroccan and U.S. planning has been superb on both sides of the house,” said an exuberant Col. Garay. “I feel like we have been ahead of the power curve the whole way this year in preparation and we are all ready to see African Lion 13 take military exercises with our partner nations to the next level!”

This year's multi-national African Lion 13 and its maritime offload, joint service exercise and HIMARS are scheduled to launch in April.

The launching of HIMARS will take our U.S./Moroccan team to greater limits in terms of our coordination and interoperability.”

Dit is een jaarlijkse actie die wordt uitgevoerd in Marokko. De deelnemers zijn grotendeels elementen van de Amerikaanse reserves van alle takken van diensten, en elementen van de Koninklijke Marokkaanse leger. De Amerikaanse benaming is Task Force-African Lion.

Deze oefening is een Live Fire Exercise (LFX). Voor degenen onder u die niet weten wat dat betekent, het betekent dat ze met scherp schieten, dus munitie gebruiken tijdens de oefeningen. Ik ben er niet zeker van wat de reden is voor deze oefening. Het kan meer van een symbolische voorstelling van dit type operatie zijn. In ieder geval de troepen te trainen en interactie met troepen uit een ander land is zeer belangrijk.

Army welcomes 14th Marines’ Howitzers and HIMARS to Ft. Sill

By Sgt. Ray Lewis | U. S. Marine Corps Forces Reserve | February 14, 2013

FORT SILL, Okla. --

Marines assigned to the 14th Marine Regiment needed a place to conduct a live-fire rehearsal to prepare for African Lion 2013, a multinational exercise in Morocco this April. Some Marines started their drill weekend on a bus in Fort Worth, Texas, while others were flown in from Buckley, AFB, Colo., on KC-130s. They all converged on Ft. Sill, Okla., and made a lot of noise.

Quite a lot of work goes into building the backbone and architecture that supports the exercise, said Col. Roger A. Garay, commanding officer of the 14th Marines, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve.

“We wouldn’t be able to pull off the preparation required for African Lion without having access to joint bases like the Army base here at Fort Sill,” Garay said. “They have the expansive range network that helps us to replicate the great distances that we are going to have to command and control in African Lion in Morocco.”

Fort Sill is a 95,000-acre artillery and missile base. The installation also includes Henry Post Army Airfield, a 5,001 foot-long runway, which is ideal for transporting troops back and forth via KC-130 Hercules aircraft, he said.

“They have an airfield here that enables us to work with the wing; to fly a unit from Aurora, Colo., down to Fort Sill, land right here at the base, drop off, go right out to the field, get back on the plane and then fly back up to the airbase,” Garay said. “ A lot of other service installations were involved getting this exercise put together so that we could get the ‘warm start’ in Morocco.”

The Marines used this unique opportunity to increase their proficiency on the M777 Howitzer and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System. This was the first time the artillerymen utilized both weapon systems simultaneously in a mission rehearsal exercise.

“We want to test the combination of the 777’s and the HIMARS, which is a capability that we haven’t seen in the past,” said Sgt. Maj. Ryan C. Willhite, battalion sergeant major for 2nd Battalion, 14th Marines. “This is the rehearsal to prepare the Marines for their mission in Morocco and to show our capability and the precision of both weapons systems.”

The training was a chance for HIMARS and traditional artillery Marines to strengthen their unit cohesion, esprit de corps and become better warriors by carrying out their war-fighting mission, he said.

“Any type of training that we can do before deployment that can keep us mission-ready is always very valuable to me,” said Cpl. Cody R. Richardson, a HIMARS crewman assigned to 2nd Battalion, 14th Marines.

The 14th Marine Regiment will contribute about 600 of the 1,455 personnel who will participate in African Lion. Air, ground and Navy medical personnel from all over the United States, Europe and Africa will also be working in support of African Lion throughout the month of April.

"The Utah National Guard will provide humanitarian civil assistance,” Garay said. “National Guard units throughout the United States are paired with nations around the world, and Utah National Guard is paired with Morocco, so they have a long-standing relationship. As a result of that, they are a big player in this and provide a lot of continuity as a lot of Marine units come and go.”

In addition, the Maritime Prepositioning Force, or MPF, will also participate this year. The program has been employed to support Marine Corps equipment requirements for combat and exercise-needs, such as for exercise African Lion.

“MPF is a national, strategic asset that can be readily deployed to any region of the world, disembark, be used for training, or for contingency operations and then re-embark on the back end,” Garay said.

The Marines see their upcoming deployment to Morocco as an opportunity to enrich their relationship with their overseas allies. It will be a joint-training event that will include several different, disparate training exercises within one exercise, Garay said.

“The evolution will include a field-training exercise, humanitarian and civil affairs efforts, and partner building that enables both sides to work with each other to develop better capabilities, and intelligence building capacity workshops that enable our intelligence community to work with theirs,” he said. “It improves our inter-operations both in personnel, systems and equipment.”

The Marines will also work with Moroccans to do peace-support operations such as riot control to improve their ability to manage complex events involving civilian population in times of internal crisis.

AL-13 is a U.S. African Command-sponsored, MFA-led exercise that involves various types of training that will also include command post, live-fire and maneuver training, amphibious operations, as well as aerial refueling/low-level flight training.

1,400 U.S. Marines and 900 Moroccan soldiers will meet in April on the southern shores of the Atlantic for the joint training exercise African Lion that is part of the Pentagon program in North Africa. The big exercise for 2013 was the subject of an agreement signed on 30 January in Agadir by representatives of the American and Moroccan armed forces.



For this exercise, the 2,500 officers Moroccan and American troops will land more than 200 vehicles transported in parts to the port of Agadir on board American ships. They will then assemble all these vehicles with their weapons, moving to sites 300 kilometers from Agadir where exercises will take place before returning to the starting point where they will disassemble the equipmentfor re-embarkation on board. This has to be completed in no more than 24 hours, the Moroccan daily newspaper Les Echos reports.

According to a statement from the staff of Africa Lion, the other novelty of this year, at least for the Moroccan forces, is the first use of long-range missiles that can reach targets more than 60 kilometers away accurately .

During Exercise African Lion a team of Moroccan and American military doctors will undertake medical consultations for the populations of villages and douars who will be on the itinerary. The maneuvers will be conducted in April 2013 from a HQ based in Agadir and led by Colonel Brahimf Hassani on the Moroccan side, and Colonel Garay for the U.S. forces.

African Lion is an annual joint US and Moroccan sponsored exercise designed to improve interoperability and mutual understanding of each nation's tactics, techniques and procedures. Initially started in the 1990s as a biennial US European Command (EUCOM) sponsored exercise conducted by US Army personnel in cooperation with the Moroccan Armed Forces, the exercise was eventually moved to Marine Corps leadership and became an annual event. Following the establishment of US Africa Command (AFRICOM) in 2008, Africom assumed sponsorship of African Lion.

With the French armed forces intervention in Mali and the deployment of 100 US troops and drones to Niger announced by President Barack Obama this years Exercise Africa Lion has added significance.

Oberst El Mebrouki aus Marokko ist zu Gast / Besuch im Stuttgarter Landtag Logistikbataillon leistet „militärische Ausbildungshilfe“

Walldürn. Im Rahmen der militärischen Ausbildungshilfe nehmen immer wieder Angehörige ausländischer Streitkräfte an mehrmonatigen Truppenaufenthalten beim Logistikbataillon 461 Walldürn teil. Dieses Angebot der Deutschen Bundeswehr gilt für Angehörige ausländischer Streitkräfte aus Nicht-Nato- und Nicht-EU-Staaten. Im Rahmen dieser Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung nimmt derzeit der marokkanische Stabsoffizier vom "Etat Major" in Rabat, Oberst Abdelouahed El Mebrouki an den laufenden Ausbildungsvorhaben des Walldürner Bataillons teil.


Dabei steht auch die Ausbildung in staatsbürgerlichen, verteidigungspolitischen und parlamentarischen Themen auf dem "Lehrplan". Durch Vermittlung des Landtagsabgeordneten Georg Nelius und seines Vorgängers, MdL a.D. und Oberstleutnant d.R. Gerd Teßmer, legte Oberst El Mebrouki einen "Stuttgart-Tag" ein.

Parlamentspräsident Guido Wolf, Innenminister Reinhold Gall und MdL Georg Nelius hießen den hohen Gast aus Marokko persönlich willkommen und informierten über parlamentarische Zuständigkeiten und Gepflogenheiten. Für das weitere Rahmenprogramm hatte Dr. Dorothee Schlegel vom Kultusministerium gesorgt.

Der Debatte gelauscht

Nach den beiden aktuellen Debatten gegen einen Privatisierungszwang beim Trinkwasser durch Europarecht und dem Abwägen der Vor- und Nachteile eines "Naturparks Nordschwarzwald" stand das Thema "Zutrittsverbot für Jugendoffiziere der Bundeswehr an den Schulen?" zur Debatte.

Die uniformierten Gäste konnten dabei die verschiedenen Meinungen der vier Landtagsfraktionen verfolgen und hörten auch die erste Landtagsrede des neuen Kultusministers Andreas Stoll zu diesem Thema.

Dabei machte der Minister deutlich, dass es natürlich kein Zutrittsverbot für Jugendoffiziere in Schulen gebe, dass es aber stets in der Entscheidungshoheit des unterrichtenden Fachlehrers liege, wen er einlade.

Beim Gespräch mit Innenminister Reinhold Gall und MdL Georg Nelius wurden die verschiedenen Bereiche angesprochen, in denen sich Landes- und Bundeswehrinteressen berührten. Oberst Abdelouahed El Mebrouki, Oberstleutnant d.R. Gerd Teßmer und Stabsfeldwebel Jürgen Pönicke bedankten sich abschließend bei Präsident, Innenminister und Abgeordneten für die gewährte Gastfreundschaft und Gesprächsbereitschaft. rt
