U.S. Army Col. Drew Conover, director of training and exercises for U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), expresses SETAF-AF's readiness to participate in African Lion 2025 (AL25) to Tunisian counterparts during the opening ceremony El Aouina Air Base, Tunisia, April 22, 2025. AL25 is set to be the largest annual military exercise in Africa, bringing 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 SETAF-AF on behalf of the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by 1st Sgt. Jay Townsend)
