A Dutch amphibious landing craft prepares to get underway after dropping off personnel and equipment from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 in Monrovia, Liberia, Oct. 17. The landing craft are attached to the Dutch Africa Partnership Station platform HNLMS Johan de Witt (L 801). The Seabees are in Liberia to rebuild the Liberian Coast Guard base that was destroyed by factional groups in the country?s 2005 civil war. Johan De Witt, a Royal Dutch Naval vessel, is the first European-led APS platform and is augmented by staff from Belgium, Portugal and the United States. APS, originally a U.S. Navy initiative, is now an international effort aimed at improving maritime safety and security for the continent of Africa through training and other collaborative activities with African partner countries.
