U.S. Army Reserve Spc. John De Jesus – Torres (orange), tests the air for potential contaminants while his Moroccan counterparts from the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR) determine the best method for containing a chemical spill during a CBRN demonstration at the Port of Agadir, Morocco, Jun. 9, 2023, as part of African Lion.
De Jesus – Torres lead the joint reconnaissance team during the chemical spill scenario. “Our role was to enter the simulated ‘hot zone,’ using detection equipment to identify potential contaminants, contain any hazardous material and process the area,” said De Jesus – Torres. “My teammates advised where the leak was coming from and determined how to contain the leak before the next team could come in for sampling. The exercise was a good evaluation of the level at which we and our CBRN partners perform."
The 773rd is a technical HAZMAT reaction team, the only one of its kind in the U.S. Army Europe - Africa theater. Exercises such as African Lion provide opportunities for this specialized unit to assess, develop and train alongside allies and partners, getting the repetitions needed to fight and win together on the modern-day battlefield. 18 nations and approximately 8,000 personnel will participate in African Lion 2023, U.S. Africa Command's largest annual combined, joint exercise that will take place in multiple countries to include Morocco from May 13 - June 18, 2023.
