U.S. Air Force Maj. Kevin Ingram, Operation Onward
Summary
U.S. Air Force Maj. Kevin Ingram, Operation Onward Liberty legal mentor from Lisle, Ill., instructs Armed Forces of Liberia soldiers in detainee operations as part of a three-week legal training course at Edward Binyah Kesselly Military Barracks, Liberia, Jan 23. Approximately 50 AFL service members, including military police officers, investigators and paralegals, completed the three-week course that taught basics in detainee operations and military law procedures, among other topics. Trainers for the course came from both Operation Onward Liberty, a U.S. Department of State initiative to train AFL soldiers and a partnership program between the Michigan National Guard and Liberia. The legal training was one in a series of capacity building events designed to promote the developing AFL, which is being retrained and reequipped following several years of national strife. Ingram is deployed from Fairchaild Air Force Base, Wash.
