Netherlands, Senegal, U.S. conduct mass casualty training at African Lion 2025
A U.S. Soldier plays the role of a casualty during a multinational mass casualty training event at Centre d’Entraînement Tactique 2 (CET2) in Dodji, Senegal, May 13, 2025. Medical personnel from the Netherlands, Senegal and the United States conducted triage and treatment drills to strengthen multinational coordination and crisis response during African Lion 2025 (AL25). AL25, the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) on behalf of U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise enhances our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Solomon Navarro)
