U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Ian Bonner, 510th Fighter Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, readies his aircraft for flight during Exercise African Lion 21 on Ben Guerir Air Base, 16 June, 2021. African Lion demonstrates that the U.S. Air Force is engaged, postured, and ready with credible force to assure, deter and defend in an increasingly complex security environment.
African Lion is U.S. Africa Command’s largest, premier, joint, annual exercise hosted by Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal, 7-18 June. More than 7,000 participants from nine nations and NATO train together with a focus on enhancing readiness for U.S. and partner nation forces. AL21 is a multi-domain, multi-component, and multi-national exercise, which employs a full array of mission capabilities with the goal to strengthen interoperability among participants.
