Staff Sgt. Malachi McPherson, an explosive ordnance disposal team member for the Humanitarian Mine Action Program in Senegal, reviews instructors’ notes during a practical application exercise, March 14, at an engineer base in Bargny, Senegal. Since Feb. 15, a group of EOD technicians with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa, began assisting Senegalese engineers as part of the HMAP through what is called a train-the-trainer program. The 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, 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.
