U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Mark Owens, assigned to 759th Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Company, 3rd Ordnance Battalion, 71st EOD Group, speaks about unexploded ordnance (UXO) training with Tunisian Armed Forces as a part of exercise African Lion 2025 (AL25), at Bizerte, 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 U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (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 Video By Staff Sgt. Brian D.
