An assault amphibious vehicle moves across the beach in Morocco carrying Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and members of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces April 10, 2012, during Exercise African Lion 12. The training allowed the Marines to introduce the Moroccan troops to the unique capabilities of the AAV, which the Marines drove onto the beach that morning from the USS New York off the coast of Morocco. This exercise is the first event for the 24th MEU and Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, which deployed in March on a regularly scheduled deployment to serve as a theater reserve and crisis response force.
