Jon O’Keeffe, CODAN sales engineer, demonstrates how Armed Forces of Liberia soldiers can use the CODAN 2110 Manpack Transceiver to send text messages as an alternate to verbal communication during a radio familiarization class at Camp Ware, Liberia, Sept. 11, 2013. With support from the U.S. Embassy Office of Security Cooperation, OOL mentors delivered a package of CODAN radios and provided training on the equipment to AFL communications soldiers. OOL provides mentorship to the AFL to produce a capable, respected force able to protect Liberian interests in the West African region. In addition, 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.
