U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Michael Woods, command senior enlisted leader, U.S. Africa Command, speaks to a group of service members after a coining ceremony at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Nov. 22, 2024. During a week-long trip to the continent of Africa’s eastern region, Woods, USMC Gen. Michael Langley, AFRICOM commander, and team ensured time was yielded to the many men and women who serve as the command’s executionary arm in providing support in the region. Troop engagements provide an opportunity for deployed personnel to hear firsthand from AFRICOM’s senior leaders on the strategic value they bring to the greater mission. During this time personnel who have performed above and beyond their basic call of duty are also recognized. “Each of you play a pivotal role in ensuring the security and safety of our U.S. and partner interests,” said Woods. “Whether you’re securing and defending the personnel that work in the Embassy, performing your primary duties in these austere environments, or are charged with building partnerships through our development efforts, you matter. I cannot thank you enough for what you do and for your relentless service. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Lark Sine)
