Susy Dodson sat down with the folks from the joint task force working in the Horn of Africa and folks from our deployable training team to get feedback as to how the training the joint task force staff received earlier this year panned out.
“[The training] allowed us within days of our arrival to conduct the operational planning assigned to us and, in order to do that successfully, you have to be able to work with the embassies and you have to have cultural awareness of the Horn of Africa region. “You have to have situational and political awareness of what’s going on in the HOA and all of those were gained, for this staff, through our training process at 2nd Fleet and [U.S.] Joint Forces Command.” Navy Rear Adm. Anthony M. Kurta, commander, CJTF-HOA
