2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade (2SFAB) Maneuver Advisory Team 2221 (MAT 2221) advisor, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ian Nogle conducts small group instruction of designated marksmanship and sniper operations with Forces armées du Sénégal (Armed Forces of Senegal) soldiers in Senegal, October 20. MAT 2221 advisors are a key component of 2 SFAB, an elite element of the U.S. Army tailored for foreign advisory roles. Focused on augmenting the combat effectiveness of African partner forces, MATs are essential in transmitting advanced infantry tactics, techniques, and procedures. Through a collaborative approach of training, advising, and assistance, MATs are instrumental in elevating the tactical proficiency and combat readiness of partner military units. This effort aligns with the strategic U.S. objective of supporting sustainable stability and bolstering security capabilities within the African region. (U.S. Army photo by 2SFAB)
