Service members from the State Headquarters Medical Readiness Detachment (MRD), Utah Army National Guard (UTARNG) and Moroccan Royal Armed Forces provide ophthalmological care to civilians at a field hospital during African Lion 2024 (AL24) in Akka, Morocco, May 25, 2024. The Utah National Guard has been partners with Morocco through the Department of Defense State Partnership Program for 21 years and led the effort to partner with the Moroccan Royal Armed Forces for a humanitarian civic assistance (HCA) operation during African Lion 2024 (AL24). The HCA event enables U.S. military personnel to work with their Moroccan counterparts to provide medical services to civilian populations who may lack access to medical care, while improving the operational readiness of participating service members. AL24 marks the 20th anniversary of U.S. Africa Command’s premier joint exercise led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), running from April 19 to May 31 across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia, with over 8,100 participants from 27 nations and NATO contingents.
