U.S. Marine Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly, commander of Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces North, speaks to the Exercise SHARED ACCORD 2010 joint task force and Mozambican troops about the importance of their mission, July 31. He stressed how grateful the U.S. Marine Corps was for the opportunity to train with the Mozambican military. During the 10-day exercise, the task force will work with the Armed Forces for the Defense of Mozambique to help prepare them for their new role as a regional peacekeeping force. SHARED ACCORD is an annual, scheduled, bi-lateral field training exercise aimed at conducting small unit infantry and staff training with partner nations for the purpose of peace and stability operations. This year’s SA is being held in Mozambique. The exercise is scheduled to conclude on Aug. 13. All U.S. forces will return to their home bases in Europe and the U.S. at the end of the exercise.
