    U.S. works with Senegalese military, adds demining capability for West African nation

    Senegalese Sgt. Aliou Sarr, an engineer instructor, explains to his students the different types of tools used to conduct demining during a train-the-trainer course, March 8, at Camp Moussa, an engineer base in Bargny, Senegal. A group of explosive ordnance disposal technicians with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa, began assisting Senegalese engineers as part of the Humanitarian Mine Action Program, Feb. 15, 2016. The train-the-trainer program initially began in 2014, when EOD Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and Vermont Air National Guard EOD technicians began teaching a group of veteran, hand-selected Senegalese soldiers how to be instructors. Now, in its second phase, the same three Senegalese soldiers, all engineers, are instructing eight junior-level soldiers in an EOD level one class, which teaches students how identify various types of ordnance and landmines and how to properly mark its locations.
