    U.S. military members and French forces stationed in Djibouti completed a challenging physical assessment here on Sep 12-14 in preparation for a 12-day French Desert Commando Course. Taking place until Sept. 28, the course consists of up to seven phases that teach participants combat life-saving skills, field tactics, land navigation, weapons training, trap setting, survival cooking, and water-source locating. Additionally, the men and women who complete this course will learn survival tactics, accomplished water and mountain obstacle courses and ultimately, will have gained practical knowledge for surviving in austere environments. Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa works closely with its French partners to offer this course to members stationed here at Camp Lemonnier a couple times per year.
