West Africa’s premier maritime exercise, Obangame Express improves regional cooperation in support of the Yaoundé Code of Conduct and enhances maritime domain awareness, information sharing between Maritime Operation Centers (MOC), maritime interdiction procedures, adherence to the rule of law, and counter-proliferation interdiction capabilities. U.S. Navy Lewis B. Puller-class expeditionary sea base USS Hershel “Woody” Williams (ESB 4) will also join the exercise, having arrived at Port Owendo in Gabon.

During exercise Obangame Express 2024, the 13th iteration of the exercise, partner and ally forces collaborate to enhance collective maritime law enforcement capabilities, bolster national and regional security in West Africa, and foster greater interoperability among U.S., African, and multinational partners. The U.S. routinely exercises with our partners in Africa to build enduring relationships and combined capacity to ensure the safety and security of the regional maritime environment.
