U.S. Army Southern European Task

U.S. Soldiers with the 54th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 173rd Airborne Brigade, take part in a night-fire breach course at Ben Ghilouf Training Area in Tunisia, April 25, 2025. Exercise African Lion 2025 (AL25) enhances soldier readiness in breaching operations and overcoming battlefield obstacles. AL25, set to be the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 40 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops, to conduct realistic, dynamic, and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa, on behalf of U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise enhances our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight, and win. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Staff Sgt.
