An AIM-9X Sidewinder.The US Army has contracted Raytheon to supply two Block II Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM) and two air defence kits to the Royal Moroccan Air Force (RMAF) for training purposes.

According to information posted on the US Federal Business Opportunities register, Raytheon will also supply the RMAF with a spare Advanced Optical Target Detector and assorted tactical guidance equipment.

The deal is part of a $264 million contract that will see Raytheon supply the US and its allies worldwide with 485 AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.

The company will also be supplying an assortment of Block II training missiles, containers, target detectors etc., for delivery by December 2016.

The RMAF has been strengthening its air force with the acquisition of new aircraft and advanced aerial defence systems. Early this year, Raytheon won a contract to produce and supply 11 ACES electronic warfare systems and spares for the governments of Morocco, Egypt and Iraq under the Foreign Military Sale (FMS) programme.

The $70 million contract provided for the development and supply of Advanced Countermeasures Electronic System (ACES), an electronic warfare system used to jam hostile anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft radar targeting systems.

US Official Says Morocco, ‘Regional Leader’ in Counterterrorism



Morocco is a “regional leader” in counter-terrorism in the Maghreb and West Africa, US Ambassador-at-Large and Coordinator for Counter-terrorism Tina Kaidanow said Thursday.

“Through this new initiative (&hellip, we strongly support Morocco’s aspiration to share its expertise with key partners in North and West Africa,” Mrs. Kaidanow said in an opening statement at the signing ceremony of a bilateral agreement on anti-terrorism assistance (ATA) between Morocco and the United States.

She underlined that the United States is”grateful for the opportunity offered to them again to support Morocco’s efforts in the fight against terrorism”.

For the US official, this agreement reflects “the exceptionally positive nature of relations in anti-terrorism assistance program with Morocco since 1986″, expressing the “enthusiasm” of the United States to start a “new phase in this partnership.”

Through its laws, Morocco has demonstrated its “commitment to strengthening the capacity of fighting terrorism both at its borders and at the regional level,” she said.

Morocco and the United States signed a bilateral agreement on anti-terrorism assistance (ATA), which aims to develop the capacity of key partner nations to combat terrorism, establish security relationships between U.S. and foreign officials to strengthen cooperative anti-terrorism efforts, and share modern, humane, and effective anti-terrorism techniques.

Exercice African lion 2015[/B]



Au début du mois de janvier, l’armée américaine organisera en collaboration avec les FAR la plus grande manœuvre militaire en Afrique.Le plus grand exercice militaire jamais organisée en Afrique sera mené de janvier à mars 2015, par l’armée américaine en étroite collaboration avec les Forces armées royales (FAR). Ces opérations militaires conjointes entre le Maroc et les États-Unis incluront des entraînements dans le domaine technique ainsi que dans la stratégie de la guerre. De même, il y aura un transfert de compétences entre le Maroc et les États-Unis dans le domaine des renseignements.« Africa Lion 2015 va incorporer des exercices concernant l’utilisation des avions F-16. Cette formation sur le Majestic Eagle est le plus grand exercice planifié jamais connu », avait affirmé précédemment le sergent en chef des US Marines, Chad Mc Meen.Pour cet exercice de 2015, 15 pays d’Europe et d’Afrique participeront en tant qu’observateurs et pourraient devenir eux-mêmes des participants lors des futures éditions. Pour faciliter la communication entre les différents participants, l’agence américaine Federal Business Opportunities (FBO), a lancé un appel à candidature pour engager des interprètes notamment d’arabe, d’amazigh, de français et d’anglais.A noter que African Lion 2015 intervient dans un contexte géopolitique en Afrique et au Proche-Orient très inquiétant. Les membres de l’État islamique et d’Al Qaïda en Libye ont à plusieurs fois menacé les pays arabes. Des menaces qui ont été pris en compte par les pays arabes. A ce titre, le Conseil de Coopération du Golfe a demandé à plusieurs États de la région, dont le Maroc, de construire un front militaire uni pour lutter contre ces groupuscules. African Lion est une opération militaire américaine organisée chaque année au royaume, en coopération avec l’armée marocaine.

African Lion is an annually scheduled, bilateral 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 biennial US European Command (EUCOM) sponsored exercise conducted by US Army personnel in cooperation with the Moroccan Armed Forces, the exercise eventually transitioned to Marine Corps leadership and became an annual event.

In 1998, Moroccan and American leaders joined forces to defeat a simulated enemy on a computerized battlefield. The sophisticated simulation equipment, known as the Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation Systems, allowed military leaders to simulate a battle using terrain from any where in the world. A series of networked laptop computers at each station act as a company headquarters in the field.

Soldiers from the Vicenza, Italy-based US Army Southern European Task Force's (SETAF) 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate) and 2nd Moroccan Parachute Infantry Brigade overcame language barriers and operational differences to battle enemy forces during Exercise African Lion '98, a computer assisted exercise held between 1 and 8 December 1998, in Ben Guerir, Morocco. Exercise African Lion was a 173rd Airborne Brigade-led exercise held every 2 years in Morocco.

As U.S. Army Europe's only conventional airborne force, the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate), SETAF's infantry brigade and also known as the Lion Brigade, was tasked with giving its expertise in planning a military operation to leaders of the Moroccan Parachute Brigade. This step-by-step procedure, known as the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP), helped the two countries understand each other's doctrine, operating methods, techniques and procedures. The MDMP is the procedure the staff and commander go through to develop an operational plan.

In the Lion Brigade's case, the plan called for a coalition force of SETAF and Moroccan paratroopers to recapture an oil refinery seized by enemy forces, defend it against any counterattacks and assist other allied units in defeating enemy forces. With the help of translators from the 415th Military Intelligence Battalion, an element of the Louisiana Army National Guard, leaders from the 2 units' staffs got down to business. The plan they developed took several days worth of briefings, face-to-face meetings and behind-the-scenes conversations.

The exercise culminated with a 3-hour-long computer-driven battle between the US-Moroccan coalition and enemy forces. Officers worked side-by-side to chart the battle. Enlisted radio transmission operators relayed information in English and French. The buzz of activity in the joint tactical operations center approached that of an actual battle. The scenario was played out on computers from SETAF's deployable Battlefield Simulation Center, which regulated everything from enemy attacks to weather and unit proficiency. They deployed 16 work stations which can simulate all aspects of the battle, from brigade down to the individual soldier. Using computers saves time, money and the number of soldiers needed to run an exercise. The staff's reports and procedures are also the same during a computer-run exercise as they are during an exercise with troops.

Approximately 50 Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 1 (NMCB 1) deployed at the end of February 2005 from its forward-deployed site in Rota, Spain, to Northern Africa to perform humanitarian missions as part of African Lion 2005 Engineering Exercise (AL05 ENGEX). The 3-month bilateral exercise with Morocco was based around a number of Engineering-Related Construction and Humanitarian Civic Assistance projects in the vicinity of Tan Tan, a small town in the Central-Western region of the country. In preparation for the exercise, the Battalion moved 1.1 million pounds of equipment and supplies by ship from Rota to Morocco. The shipment included 20 freight containers and 38 pieces of Civil Engineer Support Equipment. Members of the unit loaded the shipment in Rota for the 36-hour trip to Morocco, where they offloaded and convoyed the supplies and equipment over unimproved roads to the area of Tan Tan approximately 400 kilometers away.

Exercise-related construction projects included the humanitarian civic-assistance project to build a school for local children, and significant infrastructure upgrades on the Capdra training range. Upgrades on the range include installing 2 50-foot steel observation towers, a concrete helicopter pad, small arms bunker, completion of the existing trench system, and improvements to the surrounding roads during the 3-month period. The detail was tasked to complete 5 construction projects in 90 days. The largest project was a Royal Building System (RBS) school building, a type of pre-engineered building using lightweight materials filled with concrete for added strength. The building system connects together like a puzzle to greatly reduce construction time. A mobile concrete facility (batch plant) was contracted to provide the concrete needed and was set up just outside the school compound.

Marines from 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, teamed up with members of D Company, 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 4th Marine Division, to simulate open desert warfare during African Lion 05 on 6 April 2005. The location of the exercise, conducted in Tan Tan Morocco, enabled Marines to practice firing missiles and heavy machine guns.

More than 3,700 Moroccans were treated by 37 American military members as part of a humanitarian assistance visit to Morocco coupled with Exercise African Lion 2007 and held from 15 to 30 April 2007. Airmen of the 944th Medical Squadron from Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, and other active duty and Reserve members of sister services participated in the regularly scheduled, combined US-Moroccan military exercise designed to promote improved interoperability. The team of 37 included members from several specialties including dermatology, optometry, pediatrics, gynecology, internal medicine and dental. The group visited 6 sites in 6 days with each site containing Moroccan patients with various medical needs. The Americans and their Moroccan medical counterparts were able to assist 3,746 patients and provided 5,803 prescriptions and 833 pairs of glasses.

Deze patrouilles, werden vorige week uitgevoerd door de vredesmacht van de Marokkaanse contingent MONUSCO Force, als onderdeel van het "Welcome to Peace" operatie, waren lange afstand Diagbe (ongeveer 32 mijl ten noordwesten van Bangadi) Bagulupa (55 km ten oosten van Dungu) , Nakale (12 km ten noorden van Duru) en Solo (12 km ten noorden van Duru) brug.

"Het doel was om de militaire waarnemers Force MONUSCO betrokken bij de voorlichtingscampagne vrijwilliger vuurvaste elementen begeleiden LRA af te schrikken hun negatieve activiteiten, gerust te stellen en burgers te beschermen ", aldus Antoine Bambara, op een persconferentie.
er rekening mee dat de Oegandese rebellen van het Lord's Resistance Army (LRA Engels) ongebreideld en nog steeds actief in het noord-oosten van de DRC, met name in het district Bas-Uele in Orientale provincie in de buurt van de grens met de Centraal-Afrikaanse Republiek. Zijn werkwijze is: de inval, plundering en ontvoering. De slachtoffers worden gebruikt om de buit te dragen, en dan weer hun vrijheid een paar dagen later vrijgelaten door hun ontvoerders of ontsnapte tijdens een offensief tegen het Congolese leger.
Bovendien, de Marokkaanse bataljon Force MONUSCO heeft nog steeds de inzet van de operationele positie op de Dungu-Faradje as, die verantwoordelijk is voor het waarborgen van de veiligheid van de blauwe Indonesische ingenieursbureau van de Kracht van de VN-missie, die zich bezighouden met de revalidatie van deze weg helmen.

Delilah missile F5 upgraded by IAI






[video=youtube;OtuEDR9kRBc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=OtuEDR9kRBc[/video]

The Delilah missile is an air-launched stand-off missile and cruise missile developed in Israel by Israel Military Industries (IMI), with a maximum range of 250km and designed to target moving and re-locatable targets with a CEP of 1 metre (3 ft 3 in). It can be fitted with a variety of warheads which can be targeted on both land and sea targets. It has a turbo jet engine that is able to loiter, allowing it to target well-hidden threats in addition to moving targets. Its maneuverability makes the missile ideal for destroying Surface-to-air missile threats. Unlike a typical cruise missile, which is locked onto a pre-programmed target prior to launch, the Delilah missile is to “patrol” and surveil an area before a remote navigator identifies the specific target of the attack, the on-board autopilot and INS/GPS navigation system allows the missile to perform its mission autonomously. A data link enables intervention and target validation.

Launch Platform: F-5TIII.

Stabilization force in preparation for Libya, Morocco considered to be part of it



Many people regret the era of the dictator Khaddaffi, they argue that, undoubtedly, he was ruthless but law and order reigned and Libya was respected and feared worldwide. Today, everyone is pitying the country and its people and parliamentarians are praying Western countries, openly, to come to their rescue, but, so far, they have not obliged.

In the field, the picture is grim, the country is back in the Middle Ages, it is ruled by numerous heavily-armed warlords with different ideologies and approaches to ruling post-khaddafi Libya, most of which uphold a Salafist form of Islam, in many ways, close to Wahabism. The secularists, though representing a sizeable portion of the population, like in many parts of the MENA region, skirt defying the religious zealots for fear to be considered infidels and, as a result, excommuned.

Realizing that the country is slidng into chaos and falling in the grip of fierce religious extremists, who, some of which, were responible for the attack of its embassy and the death of its diplomats, the United States encouraged the retired General Khalifa Haftar to take on the Islamists. With the help of the airforce, he launched a battle, he dubbed karama “dignity,” to regain control of the country. However, his entreprise hurriedly-designed and badly-coached turned into a miltary disaster, and the Islamists emboldened by their success took control of Tripoli and Benghazi and gave the boot to both the paper government and the national assembly, that were obliged to move to Tobrouk, in the east, [a city close to Egypt], the anti-Islamist ally, to continue to exist.

In view of this disastrous situation, the Western countries, that helped defeat Khaddafi with deadly airstrikes, are seriousy considering finishing the business they started few years go by putting together an international task force that would have to fulfill the following objectives:

1- Disarm all militias, whatever or wherever they are;

2- Prop up the national assembly;

3- Help set up a legitimate government;

4- Help build a national army and a police force; and

5- Help resume oil-exporting to bolster the Libyan ailing national economy.

So far, it seems that the Western countries are considering to make the internationl stabilization force of: the United States, France, Britain, Italy, Canada and Australia, and to make it acceptable to the local Muslim population, it will comprise such countries as Morocco, Turkey, Jordan and probably Egypt, if it is not rejected by the Islamist Libyan militias, for its repression of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.

CH-47D Chinook for Morocco

COLUMBIA HELICOPTERS RECEIVES CONTRACT TO RE-SET CHINOOK HELICOPTERS FOR MOROCCO



Columbia Helicopters is pleased to announce receiving a contract worth approximately $6 million to provide maintenance services on three CH-47D Chinook helicopters for the Moroccan Air Force.

In order to prepare for this maintenance operation, Columbia Helicopters has opened a new Military Maintenance facility at the company’s headquarters near Aurora, Ore. While the company has conducted maintenance on military helicopters and components in the past, this new facility is expected to generate significant additional military work for the company in the future.

“We are excited about this project,” said Scott Ellis, director of business development for Columbia Helicopters. “This contract brings three large helicopters to our facility, where we’ll clean, inspect and repair them. At the end of the process, we’re going to hand Morocco’s Air Force three aircraft that are completely re-conditioned and in excellent shape.”

Issued through the Department of Defense Foreign Military Sales (FMS) office, the contract involves “resetting” and painting the three aircraft at Columbia Helicopters’ Military Maintenance facility. Morocco acquired the surplus US Army aircraft through an FMS program, and Columbia Helicopters’ maintenance work will ensure the flight readiness of the aircraft when they are accepted by the Moroccan government.

Resetting an aircraft is a post-desert operations cleaning and inspection and repair that also includes a 400-hour aircraft phase maintenance inspection. During the seven month project, Columbia’s crews will also transform the olive-drab paint scheme into a more appropriate desert camouflage pattern. Near the end of the project, company personnel will deliver, reassemble and flight test the aircraft in Morocco.

“This project is very similar to a project we completed for the Australian government last year,” added Ellis. “In that instance, our maintenance crews began the reset process while their helicopters were still in Afghanistan, then delivered and completed the project in Australia. We’re just as capable of conducting maintenance services overseas, but we’re looking forward to expanding our services here in Oregon.”
