A Marine Corps MV-22 with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa sits on the Inzegane flightline prior to an orientation flight for distinguished visitors May 20. Four Ospreys with the unit flew down from Moron, Spain to demonstrate the range, speed and capability to insert a contingent of Marines in response to a crisis or natural disaster situation on the continent of Africa during Exercise African Lion 15. The event is an annually-scheduled, combined U.S.–Moroccan exercise designed to improve mutual understanding of each nation’s tactics, techniques and procedures while demonstrating the strong bond between the two nation’s militaries. The one-week exercise includes various types of military training, including a command post exercise; stability operations, such as nonlethal weapons training and crisis/disaster response training. Additionally, in February an intelligence capacity building seminar was conducted.
