A U.S. Marine fires at a target on the river bank here during a live-fire shoot while a Nigerian sailor coaches. This range was designed by the Senegalese military and tactics were taught by Nigerian sailors, who have a vast amount of experience patrolling the Nigerian rivers. The range comprised of about 400 meters of river banks lined with various targets at river and tree levels. The live-fire course was part of Africa Partnership Station 2011, a U.S. Africa Command maritime security engagement program that is designed to strengthen participating nations’ maritime security capacity through multilateral collaboration and cross-border cooperation. Marine Corps Forces, Africa is supporting APS 11 with a security assistance force based out of Camp Lejeune, N.C.
