Intelligence building workshop an indication of interoperability during African Lion 14

MOROCCO - During African Lion 14, the Intelligence Capacity Building Workshop was a small but significant example of multilateral cooperation and international partnerships to bolster partner-military capability and intelligence capacity across broad, professional domains.

The four-day workshop brought together U.S., Moroccan and German military professionals to strengthen proficiency in integration for intelligence operations.

“The ICBW is all about partnering with our counterparts and improving interoperability as it pertains to intelligence,” said Maj. Paul Bischoff, the intelligence officer-in-charge, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade.

“Intelligence is one of those areas we want to be able to work with our partners; we want to share the process, find ways to work together so we can operate together,” he added.

The workshop included topics such as: basic steps of the intelligence process; intelligence preparation of the environment (IPOE); systematic approaches to terrain, weather and cultural considerations of importance; standard terminology and procedures; military grid-reference systems; and geospatial intelligence and relevance to operational planning.

“I stopped calling it a ‘class…’ it’s a workshop; it’s all of us coming together and working together and trying to learn from each other,” said Bischoff. “We share the process, plan together, and operate together.”

The ICBW functions as part of the planning process for the final command-post exercise of African Lion 14.

“We built the IPOE brief that was given to all the personnel who planned the scenarios [for the CPX],” said Bischoff. “It was very helpful for all those who participated because we got a deep understanding of the exercise before we jumped into the planning of the CPX,” said the Jacksonville, N.C., native.

The ICBW allowed the multinational group of intelligence professionals to share procedures and cultural variances to build a broad, varied, and enhanced understanding of each country’s strategies and capabilities.

“You don’t realize the cultural differences unless you work together and, once we understand them, we understand each other better and we can move on and plan together,” said Bischoff.

Part of the ICBW involved geospatial intelligence personnel from the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the German Bundeswehr Geospatial Intelligence Office.

“The geospatial part lays the foundation for the planning,” said German Capt. Martin Heiermann, a geospatial analysis from the BGIO.

Commonly known as “GeoIntel, or “GSI,” the discipline focuses on intelligence derived from the analysis of imagery and information to describe, assess and visually depict physical and geographic terrain features.

“If you have no idea of your surroundings or the landscape, you can’t really start planning no matter what you want to do,” added Heiermann. “A worst-case example would be if you planned your logistics routes and realized the maps are old and all the bridges or broken, or that there are no bridges. This is why you need geospatial before your planning.”

The engagement goes beyond military intelligence principles, focusing on the international cooperation of participating militaries.

“Every nation does [intelligence operations] a bit different. No one has the perfect solution, so it’s broadening the horizon and seeing how everyone does it; that’s why these multinational exercises are good for us,” Heiermann said.

“To know what your partners tend to ask for in your products can help circumvent mistakes and save time because, if you know how fellow [militaries] work, you can, in advance, prepare data and products to shorten the amount of time and set the right focus [for operations],” said Heiermann.

Exercise African Lion is an annually-scheduled training engagement promoting military partnership between U.S. and Moroccan Armed Forces. It is the largest of its kind on the African continent. The exercise will run through April 5 and will continue to focus on interoperability with military-to-military engagements in stability operations, rapid response to contingencies, a multinational observer program with 13 different countries, non-lethal weapons and peace enforcement, live-fire and weapons familiarization training, humanitarian and disaster-relief response. The events increase partner-nation capacity not just for military proficiency but in commitment to the region’s security environment.

“I love working with the Moroccans, but we never know who the coalition will include; we have to be good with not just working with one country but working with any [partner] country,” said Bischoff. “It’s all about learning how to understand our own thoughts and processes and how to incorporate others’ into them.”

US, Moroccan military personnel refine escalation-of-force tactics during African Lion 14

TIFINIT TRAINING AREA, Morocco-- Royal Moroccan Armed Forces soldiers and a joint-contingent of U.S. military police personnel, including U.S. Marines from 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, U.S. soldiers and airmen, shared tactics and techniques for nonlethal weapons enforcement and escalation-of-force operations during African Lion 14 in Tifnit Training Area, Morocco.

“It’s a very good training opportunity and different than working with our [other coalition] partners,” said Sgt. Christian A. Jensen, a military policeman from 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion.

The six-day military-to-military engagement refined techniques in the topics of: escalation of force; familiarization of nonlethal weapons employment; and non-combative hand-to-hand techniques. The engagement will later cover baton work; employment of shield-line techniques, formation and drills; and oleoresin capsicum spray.
“They are on a high level of training, so we aren’t here trying to rebuild; we are trying to add to the basics,” added the Half Moon Bay, Calif. native.

The Moroccan and U.S. forces exchanged their shared experiences of nonlethal and crowd-control employment during the engagement to build upon their proficiency as military personnel from different nations.
“This [Moroccan] battalion we’re here with specializes in [riot control] so it’s been a good opportunity to learn some of their tactics and show them some of ours,” said Sgt. David E. Spurling, a military policeman with 2nd LEB.

“For our newer Marines, it’s good to see how they employ their tactics in contrast to ours.”

The multinational brigade of military police personnel find common ground in their training as they become more proficient in the capacity to employ nonlethal weapons, which gives commanders a viable option for regional stability, said Jensen.

“U.S. forces train differently than [Moroccans forces] but for the most part we have similar techniques,” said Jensen. “This is a big thing with [theater security cooperation]; we want to make sure all coalition forces are on the same page so, if we have to work together in an armed conflict, there isn’t a learning curve with the different forces.”

African Lion 14 exemplifies the ability of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade to integrate with partner-nation militaries and respond to contingencies in the operational reach of U.S. Africa Command under a scalable, expeditionary joint-task force of multiple U.S. service components.

“The big thing having access to train with these nations is now we have multiple forces that are on the same level so if we go into an armed conflict or humanitarian assistance mission, it’s not just U.S. forces, it’s partner-nation forces for that mission as well,” said Jensen.
Nonlethal weapons employment and escalation-of-force packages are an integral part of military operations to prevent or reduce the loss of life while maintaining civil disorder.

“It gives commanders another tool for assessing a situation; maybe a lethal option isn’t needed when you have the nonlethal ability to de-escalate the situation,” said Spurling.

“A lot of our Marines have worked with other nations and seen other services but it’s been a great opportunity to see [Moroccan] tactics and how we can improve and share together,” said Spurlling.

The shared-proficiency of multiple nations will promote regional stability and interoperability and integration if partners ever need to operate in real-world contingencies.

“I believe it’s important because it’s another partner to have in this region,” said Spurling.“[This engagement] is to show them that we are here for them and, after working with them, I believe they are here for us.”

African Lion 14 is a multilateral U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa-led military engagement with the Royal Kingdom of Morocco and Republic of Germany Armed Forces. The annually-scheduled exercise, one of the largest of its kind on the African continent, promotes regional stability while building partner-nation capacity through operational and tactical-level interoperability during it’s three-week evolution, slated to finish April 5.

Moroccans, U.S. engage in stability operations training

TIFNIT, Morocco – The U.S. and coalition forces learned valuable lessons during recent campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, specifically regarding the importance of stability operations and their relevance during future contingencies.

Soldiers from the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces and U.S. military personnel participating in Exercise African Lion 14 conducted stability operations training to put those lessons into practice during Exercise African Lion 14, March 27, 2014.

Exercise African Lion 14 is a combined-joint exercise between the Kingdom of Morocco, and the U.S. that involves approximately 150 soldiers of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, 350 U.S. servicemembers and additional military personnel from European and African partner nations.

The annually-scheduled exercise is designed to improve each nation's ability to operate collectively and develop a mutual understanding of each nation's military tactics, techniques and procedures. The primary focus of this year’s exercise is the combined-joint staffing process through a command-post exercise designed to prepare participating partner forces for the larger scale multi-lateral training event scheduled for Exercise African Lion 15.

A platoon from the Royal Moroccan Army with U.S. servicemembers from U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, 25th Marine Regiment, 92nd Military Police Company and a U.S. Air Force security detachment had the opportunity to focus on patrolling, non-lethal engagements and convoy security, during the stability operations portion of the exercise.

“Working with the Moroccans is important because not only does it strengthen our relationships, but it creates an opportunity for both militaries to learn from each other,” said Marine 1st Lt. Aaron Anderson, a military police officer with 2nd MEB. “Even with the language barrier, the Moroccans and Marines have been able to work together and effectively communicate with one another.”

Moroccan and Marine leaders divided the training into three evolutions giving the Moroccans, Marines, sailors, airmen and soldiers the opportunity to work in small groups. This ensured proper application of training procedures and effective dissemination of information.

The first evolution consisted of fire-team formations and hand-and-arm signals, which were followed by immediate-action drills and patrolling. Classes soon turned to quick-reaction practical application scenarios based on the lessons taught.

“The Moroccans simply amazed the Marines,” said Marine 1st Lt. Shane G. Livingstone, a military police platoon commander. “This morning we did a ‘check on learning.’ There’s nothing like being able to watch them pick-up and execute everything they learned the day before with speed and accuracy, even after having received a lot of classes the same day.”

Immediately following application of patrolling skills around the perimeter of the training area, the next class focused on entry and vehicle-control points, which included vehicle and personnel searches, and escalation-of-force procedures.

“This training is essential because it gives the Moroccans another skill to employ when needed,” said Marine Cpl. Alberto Camacho, a non-lethal weapons instructor. “Instead of having few options before use of lethal force, they now have more tools to draw from when attempting to de-escalate situations.”

Instructors noted the techniques practiced during the training evolution would prove useful in other noncombat operations. The participants can also use the training for noncombatant evacuations, humanitarian aid and other situations that require nonlethal force.

The Moroccan soldiers and Marines finished the day’s training with convoy security taught by U.S. Army military police from Sembach, Germany, and U.S. Air Force military police out of Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. Their training focused on humanitarian relief and disaster stability operations, which covered sectors of fire, danger areas and escorting humanitarian supplies.

“This training was important because they now can apply it and train other countries, but it was also good for us because we’ve learned just as much from the Moroccans,” said Sgt. Keenan M. Kite, with the U.S. Army military police. “We’ve learned more about their culture, tactics and procedures and incorporated that into how we operate as well.”

The stability operations training served as one portion of Exercise African Lion 14. The exercise also includes live-fire training, more in depth nonlethal weapons training, and a multinational observer program before it concludes, April 5.

Combat communicators expeditiously network Exercise African Lion 14

AGADIR, Morocco – Cable-lined paths plugged into modular tents, garnished by satellite dishes are synched with the constant hum of generators; indicators of a fully-capable network of internet, phone and radio access complimented by their classified counterparts. This is the hub that connects the miles-apart components of Exercise African Lion 14, the annually-scheduled, multilateral event in the Kingdom of Morocco executed from March 27- April 5.

A foundation of operating in every clime and place, a major capacity of the Marine Corps’ expeditionary roots, is the integration of the combat communications to provide vital “talk” for commanders to control the battle space.

“Without our communications, this exercise wouldn’t be able to function as it is now,” said 1st Lt. Mark J. Semancik, a Joint Communications Control Center watch officer.

Theater-deployed communicators are composed of Marines from 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, 8th Communications Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment and airmen from the Air Force 55th Combat Communications Squadron. The exercise will bring more than 150 Royal Moroccan Armed Forces servicemembers together with more than 350 Marines, airmen, soldiers and sailors to engage in partner-capacity building.

“For everyone else this is a training exercise, but for us this is the exact thing we’re going to do if we had a real-life situation,” added Semancik.

Truly operating with the “first-in, last-out” mantra, these assets are first to enter the battle space, able to set up elaborate communications architectures with minor or nonexistent permanent infrastructure.

“We’re one of the first boots on the deck… within another 48 hours, we were able to push all the services out with our own system,” said Semancik. “We bring everything with us, we do it all expeditionary; we can go in the middle of the desert or we can go in the middle of the jungle if needed.”

The Rapid Response Communications Kit gives an added advantage of enabling communications in only an hour’s time.

“Within an hour they can have phones, E-mail and [video teleconferencing] wherever the general wants to be,” said Semancik.

These variants in the communications toolkit can provide versatility when expeditionary forces are deployed to the unknown.

“You get there, you have boots on the deck; you’re talking on the single-channel radio systems you have; within an hour, with the Rapid Response Communications Kit, the general can get [classified networks] and [video teleconferencing]… so right away, he can get into the network and command and control that way instead of using radios,” added the Pittsburg, Penn., native.

A rapidly-established communication capability like this is integral to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade capacity to integrate with partner-nation militaries and respond to contingencies if it were to deploy in support of the U.S. Africa Commander with a scalable, joint-task force of U.S. Marine and fellow service components.

“It’s expeditionary and it’s important because it’s what the commander needs to control the battle space,” said Semancik.

As a backbone of the exercise, the Joint Communications Control Center runs on electrical power and has the support of “air power”, as the 55th Combatant Communication Squadron, deployed from Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, supplements operational and tactical level communications capabilities to the Marines.

“We’re up in 48 hours and that’s a requirement for us,” said Senior Master Sgt. Bart P. Sawyer, the communications chief with the 55th CCS.

Capabilities include NIPRNet, the Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network that is used to exchange sensitive but unclassified information and provide public internet access, it’s classified counterpart, SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network), voice and video teleconferencing, satellite communications, and single-channel radio communications. The network can support up to 3,000 users.

“That’s the big piece; to have this kind of capability with E-mail, internet, video teleconferencing and voice, that’s the type of things you don’t usually get in 48 hours,” said Sawyer.

The network and communications access is vital for all aspects of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa-led African Lion 14, to include the command-post exercise, an intelligence capacity building workshop, and stability operations, located miles away in Tifnit.

Part of the execution also enables military communicators from different services the opportunity to work together in a joint environment.

“We can understand what we can provide, how we can work together, how we can meet the Marine comm’ and the Air Force comm’ to meet the mission,” said Sawyer. “It’s that piece that if we need to come in for a natural disaster or deploy to another country, it’s a good idea to be able to do that, have the relationships built so you have the trust.”

Exercises like African Lion 14, one of the biggest of its kind on the continent of Africa, plays a vital role in sharing capacity, knowledge and experiences to planning processes and operational tactics for potential real-world events.

“It’s good to work with the Moroccans, establishing joint communications with different countries and showing them what we’re capable of doing,” said Cpl. William A. Medina, a wireman with 8th Communications Bn.

“We’re practicing for what would happen in a real-life situation; having communications up without interruptions, being able to do this anywhere in the world sets us up for a better operation and better proficiency next time,” said Medina.

Providing critical, reliable communications assets during wartime and contingency operations or humanitarian missions might happen in a myriad of austere conditions. Being able to access partner nations during these engagements can not only build proficiency but also familiarity when execution means failure is not a course of action.

“This is very important because when we go into a live environment where it’s more serious than now and we have no system of working together and we have to build proficiency then… That’s hard to do when it’s the first time you’re getting with those other countries,” said Medina. “If you don’t work with them now, later on, you’re stuck.”
