    An instructor teaches African students how to assemble a Mark 19 machine gun as part of the Lake Chad Basin Initiative, Nov. 15, 2017 at the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School on Stennis Space Center, Miss. NAVSCIATTS is working through the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership to facilitate the inaugural iteration of the Lake Chad Basin Initiative. The objective of the iteration is to increase partner nations’ abilities to project force against violent extremist organization safe havens within the Lake Chad region using continental United States based maintenance and leadership training prior to the delivery of mission-essential equipment to security forces within the region. Follow-on country training through mobile training teams will reinforce and further the capabilities gained from the CONUS training. Photo by Michael Bottoms, USSOCOM Office of Communication.
