US Army, BDF in Southern Accord 12

The exercise, which began yesterday, is code named Southern Accord 12, and brings together the BDF, USARAF and AFAFRICA to foster security cooperation while conducting joint Humanitarian Assistance or Disaster Relief, Peace Keeping Operations and Aero Medical exercises. US Army Africa Commander, Brigadier General Isaac Osborne told the troops that the vision of Southern Accord 12 had three key elements: building relationships, improving processes and capabilities.
General Osborne said if the solders always remembered them they could be sure to meet with success.

"As we work together side by side, the relationships, knowledge and skills that will be shared will benefit our militaries and our nations today and in the future," he said.
