Army Soldiers and Green Berets stand in formation during the opening ceremony for Flintlock 2022 near Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, on February 20, 2022. Flintlock reflects a mutual commitment to countering malign activity and violent extremists throughout the region despite challenges, to include COVID-19. This is an annual, African-led, combined military and law enforcement exercise that has strengthened key partner-nation forces throughout Africa, in partnership with international special operations forces, since 2005.
