    U.S. Army Capt. Craig Church, team chief, Civil Affairs Southern European Task Force – Africa, marches 15 kilometers with temperatures peaking at 108 degree Fahrenheit during an overnight field training exercise at the Djiboutian Range Complex, Djibouti, Aug. 28-29, 2021. The exercise prepares service members for the French Desert Commando Course (FDCC) scheduled for mid-September. The course consists of knot tying, mountain confidence, basic infantry skills and night operations. The French Army invites a select number of U.S. service members to participate in the course where participants compete to earn the FDCC qualification badge upon successful completion of the course.
