“U.S. Africa Command confirms the recovery of our second Soldier, Spc. Mariyah Collington. We mourn her loss and stand with her family and the 10th Army Air & Missile Defense Command community in this moment of grief.
The search that brought her home was a testament to what combined operations look like at their best. Alongside the U.S. Joint Force, the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces contributed ground, air, and maritime assets — and more importantly, their full commitment — from the first moment to the last. African Lion builds partnerships for exactly these moments. Morocco proved what those partnerships mean.”
— General Dagvin Anderson and Command Sergeant Major Garric Banfield
