Armed Forces of Liberia drill sergeants observe as U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ashley Gregory, drill sergeant instructor, demonstrates how to lead physical training during a drill sergeant refresher course at Camp Ware, Liberia. Two U.S. Army instructors from Fort Jackson, S.C., assisted Operation Onward Liberty by teaching a weeklong drill sergeant refresher course as the AFL prepares to enlist approximately 150 new recruits. OOL provides mentorship to the AFL to produce a capable, respected force able to protect Liberian interests in the West African region. In addition, the OOL is developing the leadership capabilities of the officers and noncommissioned officers to maintain a professional and credible military force with a reputation as a “force for good” among the Liberian people.
