Sgt. Maj. James McCook, Marine Forces Africa sergeant major, reads a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal award citation during an awards and promotion ceremony at U.S. Embassy Tripoli, Libya, April 7, 2013. Sgt. Michael Holder, left, Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Africa 13 combat engineer from Powhatan, Va., received the award for repairing embassy closed-circuit television cameras, saving the embassy an estimated $2,000 in repair costs. The Marines with Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa 13 are the first reserve Marines to serve in Tripoli in an official capacity, providing additional security to the U.S. Embassy. Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa strengthens U.S. Marine Corps Forces Africa and U.S. Africa Command’s ability to assist partner nations in addressing their security challenges. The approximately 150 Marines and sailors conduct security force assistance, military-to-military engagements and are trained to provide support to crisis response. (Courtesy photo/Released)
