Approximately 80 Idaho Army National Guard Soldiers with the 1st Battalion of the 148th Field Artillery Regiment trained with the Royal Moroccan Army in the northern Sahara Desert as part of African Lion ’22. Idaho’s battalion, from the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team and headquartered in Pocatello, left the United States June 18, 2022, for the two-week exercise overseas with the international partner. Idaho Soldiers spent the first week preparing for the combined arms live-fire multinational mission that is the primary focus of the second week and conducted annual crew certification on the M109A6 Howitzer. During the exercise, the battalion provided ground support with preparatory and destructive fires, as well as obscuration using white smoke fires. At the end of the two-week exercise, the Idaho National Guard and the four counterpart states will conduct the combined arms live-fire multinational mission with Moroccan forces.
