The exercise followed a fictitious storyline, but called for the employment of real-world assets. While French and forces conduct frequent combined training events, this was the first exercise of this type between the two nations in Djibouti. The forces involved are assigned to Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, or CJTF-H
