    U.S. National Guard Soldiers act as role players in a hijackers and hostages scenario while service members with the Botswana Defense Force secure the area around an airplane during a training exercise at Thebephatshwa Air Base in Botswana on July 17, 2019. The exercise was part of a two-day culminating event that included a simulated airplane hijacking. More than 170 Army and Air Guardsmen from North Carolina, Alabama, and New Jersey trained in partnership with their Botswana Defense Force counterparts during Upward Minuteman 2019, a U.S. Africa Command exercise promoting the U.S. National Guard’s State Partnership Programs on the African Continent.
