Morocco to send forces to Central African Republic amid violence



Morocco decided Friday to send forces to Central African Republic (CAR) following the UN Security Council's authorization of an African-led and French-backed peacekeeping force in the violence-hit country.

In a press release, the Moroccan foreign ministry called for internationally-supported emergency measures to prevent further deterioration of the security situation in the CAR.

It also welcomed the UN Security Council's approval of 12-month mandate of international forces in the CAR as a new decisive step to help settle its crisis.

On Thursday, the UN Security Council unanimously authorized the African military force MISCA to protect civilians and provide security in the violence-ridden nation. The measure also allows participation of troops from France.

The UN resolution was adopted amid reports of heavy gunfire in the CAR capital of Bangui, which has claimed at least 100 lives.

RMAF Wheeled Vehicle Central Workshop





The Morocco Armed Forces wheeled vehicle central workshop is now operational
The Maintenance Facility development, which has been designed and project managed by a Lodi team of engineers, is believed to be the largest and most modern facility in North Africa. The workshop has the capability to maintain up to 6,000 military wheeled vehicles from small sedans to tank transporters. Dedicated Management systems have been developed by Lodi to ensure operational efficiency and a Lodi team of automotive specialists will train and develop FAR technicians to deliver a consistently high standard of maintenance. The facility is scheduled to complete ISO 9001 certification before the end of 2012 and will undertake tank transporter and 4x4 vehicle reconditioning programmes alongside of the ongoing maintenance of the Moroccan Armed Forces vehicle fleet.
(For security reasons Lodi is not able to show pictures of the actual facility)


Maintenance Facility for Moroccan Military – One year on
The newly built facility FAR Workshop Facility was officially opened as Centre de Compétence Matériels Roulants (CCMR) in October 2012. Maintenance began on military staff cars followed by two separate refurbishment programs on Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4s and Oshkosh Tank Transporters. Training of Military Personnel has been at the forefront with Lodi engineers taking the lead on skills transfer at shop floor and management level. CCMR was awarded ISO 9001/2008 certification in October this year - an award that contributed to the most successful year in Lodi's history.
There are many more challenges which lie ahead with the Moroccan project, but Lodi have ensured that the Management and Technical staff installed are of high quality and well equipped to carry the project forward.

Upgrade: L-3 Link Simulation & Training



L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) announced in november 2013 that it has successfully upgraded a fielded F-16C Block 52 Aircrew Training Device (ATD) and achieved a ready-for-training milestone on a second F-16C Block 52 ATD for the Royal Moroccan Air Force (RMAF). Both devices are installed at the RMAF’s Ben Guerir Air Base.

Since the RMAF’s initial F-16C Block 52 ATD began training pilots in 2011, the simulator has been used for more than 6,000 hours to hone pilots’ air-to-air and air-to-ground combat skills.

“Achieving these milestones is a testament to the collective commitment between the U.S. Air Force, Royal Moroccan Air Force and L-3 Link Simulation & Training to develop highly advanced flight simulators that cost-effectively maintain pilot mission readiness,” said Dan Kelly, L-3 Link’s vice president for Air Force programs. “This state-of-the-art simulation system enables pilots to perform a full spectrum of combat training while operating as a tactical team.”

Each F-16C Block 52 ATD is integrated with L-3 Link’s nine-panel, 360-degree field-of-view SimuSphere® visual display and SimuView® personal computer image generation system that produces correlated out-the-window and cockpit sensor display imagery.

During simulation exercises, pilots are able to acquire and identify targets, deliver a wide range of ordnance, practice takeoffs and landings, conduct aerial in-flight refueling, undertake low-level flight maneuvers and practice emergency procedures.

L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) reached ready-for-training status in February 2012 and is currently supporting pilot instruction.

Camp Novo Selo tests readiness



CAMP NOVO SELO, Kosovo

French, Moroccan, Danish and American soldiers took part in a force protection and mass casualty exercise at Camp Novo Selo Nov. 27.

The exercise was designed to test the readiness of the base's defensive procedures and their response to wounded soldiers on the camp.

Upon notification of a security threat, the French maneuvered their base defense assets to secure the area, sending mounted and dismounted patrols along the perimeter of the base.

When the simulated casualties were found, French and American medics rushed to the scene and immediately began treating the wounded. The patients were stabilized and moved to the French medical treatment facility. The casualties were later medically evacuated by a helicopter to a medical facility that could provide a higher level of care.

U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Marlon Phills, the medical platoon sergeant for the U.S. Coy, said the exercise was a great opportunity to see the different tactics and procedures their multinational partners used.

"I am fully confident that they can do what needs to be done," Phills, a New York City native, said. "They [multinational partners] know how to communicate with each other, they know each other's equipment and both doctors know how to relay information."

French Col. Alan Taveau, the medical director for the French MTF, said that training was essential for the multinational partners on Camp Novo Selo.

"Here in Kosovo, we have to work together. We have to train for this, because some things we do one way, the Americans do another way. So we have to work together, and that is why we are working together today."

During the exercise, the French coy provided constant communication to their partners in the U.S. coy tactical operations center, allowing the Americans to move and operate beside their partners in securing the camp and providing medical and transportation support for the operation.

U.S. Army Cpl. Scott Walters, a medic with the U.S. coy from Melvindale, Mich., said the exercise allowed his unit to test their capabilities while also finding any issues in communicating with their multinational partners.

"It's kind of like being in KFOR," Walters said. "Everyone is working as one."

The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported on its website on Monday that the Israeli Military Industries, a government-owned weapons manufacturer, sold Morocco drones over the past year through a French company. Maariv attributed the information to Moroccan media outlets that report on the military in the North African country.

The Moroccan army took delivery of three Heron unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the end of last April, via the French company Dassault Aviation, which acted as the mediator in the deal. The Farmorocco website and Aeronautica Y Astronautica magazine published a document which confirms that Morocco bought the Israeli-designed aircraft. The army also possesses four US-made UAVs.
