Military and diplomatic leaders from various participating nations attend the opening ceremony of Cutlass Express 2024. Exercises like Cutlass Express foster trust between participating nations by promoting mutual understanding and cooperation. Exercise Cutlass Express (CE) is one of three African regional "Express" series exercises sponsored by U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and facilitated by U.S. Naval Forces Africa/U.S. Sixth Fleet.
While it primarily focuses on counter-piracy and maritime security operations, it also addresses other maritime threats such as smuggling, illegal fishing, and maritime terrorism. Djibouti, being strategically located at the entrance to the Red Sea, often serves as a key hub for this exercise due to its significance in regional maritime security efforts. The exercise typically involves participation from various countries, including those in the region, as well as international partners such as the United States Africa Command (USAFRICOM) and other allied nations.
