Marvin Hernandez-Garcia, Armed Forces of Liberia logistics mentor deployed with Operation ONWARD LIBERTY from Camp Courtney, Okinawa, safely guide a forklift operator who loads cargo onto an AFL truck at Roberts International Airport, June 17, 2013. Three airmen from Travis AFB flew to Monrovia to support U.S. service members deployed with OOL in preparation for the AFL’s deployment to the African-led International Support Mission in Mali. The mission is the AFL’s first international peacekeeping operation as a restructured force. ONWARD LIBERTY is a U.S. Marine Corps Forces Africa-led operation comprised of joint U.S. service members who mentor and advise the AFL 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.
