Armed Forces of Liberia Cpl. Caroline Doe, transportation specialist, gives U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Merrill Slepica, 570th Global Mobility Squadron aerial porter, an orientation on operating an AFL Mercedes-Benz 1017 4x4 cargo truck at Roberts International Airport June 17, 2013. Slepica was one of three airmen from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., who flew to Monrovia to support U.S. servicemembers deployed with Operation ONWARD LIBERTY in preparation for the AFL's deployment to the African-led International Support Mission in Mali. The deployment is the AFL's first international peacekeeping mission as a restructured force. OOL is a U.S. Marine Corps Forces Africa-led operation comprised of joint U.S. service members who mentor and advise the Armed Forces of Liberia in order to develop a national military that is responsible, operationally capable, and respectful of civilian authority and the rule of law. OOL's goal is to assist the AFL in building a professional and capable military force that can effectively contribute to the overall security environment in Liberia.
