Summary
U.S Marine Corps 1st Lt. Chris Caffrey, Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Africa assessment team evaluator, provides feedback to Armed Forces of Liberia soldiers manning an entry control point following an exercise scenario at Camp Ware's Armed Forces Training Command May 16. The SP-MAGTF Africa assessment team was brought in by Operation ONWARD LIBERTY personnel to assess AFL soldiers' capabilities during Exercise GUARDIAN ANGEL ahead of an eventual deployment to Mali. ONWARD LIBERTY is a U.S. Marine Corps Forces Africa-led operation comprised of joint U.S. service members who mentor and advise the AFL in order to develop a national military that is responsible, operationally capable and respectful of civilian authority and the rule of law. OOL's goal is to assist the AFL in building a professional and capable military force that can effectively contribute to the overall security environment in Liberia. OOL personnel continue to mentor AFL leaders and training staff at all levels to ensure the deploying platoon is properly trained and equipped to succeed in partner-nation operations in Mali and to represent Liberia as a legitimate, capable and professional force for good.
