Multinational partners attend the African Lion 2025 (AL25) chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) defense exercise in Agadir, Morocco, May 20, 2025. The CBRN exercise featured a coordinated search and seizure of a vessel in port, integrating U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army explosive ordnance disposal, U.S. Special Operations Forces, U.S. Navy medical and the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, focusing on countering weapons of mass destruction operations, CBRN threat mitigation and joint boarding procedures. 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 the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win. (U.S. Army video by Staff Sgt. Aaliyah Craven)
