About African Lion

African Lion 25 is U.S. Africa Command's largest, premier, annual exercise, hosted across Morocco, Ghana, Senegal and Tunisia. This joint, all-domain, multi-component, and multinational exercise includes more than 10,000 participants from more than twenty nations, including contingents from NATO.

Heat narrative: Hawaii 5 and 0 won easily by the test lab with their zig zagging strategy thwarting all comers as they blocked most avenues for passing. Top Gun never made it out of the gate as its slim design caused it to capsize multiple times and didn’t make it much past the start. FLBB Minnow plugged along strong and steady like a turtle and even though they were taking on water, eventually made it to the finish line.
