Marines from 3rd Battalion, 14th Marines don their packs and prepare
for in-processing after arriving in Agadir, Morocco, April 7 to
support Exercise African Lion 2012. These Marines are responsible for
overseeing the field training portion of the exercise. AL-12 is a U.S.
African Command-sponsored, Marine Forces Africa-led exercise involving
various types of training including command post, live-fire and
maneuvering, peace support operations, an intelligence capacity
building seminar, aerial refueling/low-level flight raining, as well
as medical and dental assistance projects. AL-12 will promote
multi-national cooperation and mutual understanding of each nation's
military tactics and procedures. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Tyler Main) |

Camp Lemonnier.
Two MEU's operating in Central Command's area of operations.
Two carriers operating in Central Command's area of operations.
Images at Camp Lemonnier have been frozen. As a matter of fact images of the region have been frozen for at least the past two weeks (check Google Earth and the exact same pic from almost a month ago of Camp Lemonnier is still shown...not one airplane has moved....they're all in the same spots).
We're seeing a military buildup right before our eyes. Notice I haven't included what Army units are doing. Nor have I listed USAF or SOCOM assets.
Something seems to be brewing, I just can't put my finger on it.
