Back to\u00a0U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FORT GREGG-ADAMS, Va. \u2013 Members of the Senegalese Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) program visited Forts Gregg-Adams<\/a> and Walker<\/a> to observe and learn about the U.S. Army\u2019s training and doctrine, Feb. 6, 2024.<\/p>\n

During the visit, they met with U.S. Army EOD<\/a> leadership and technicians and toured the Phase I training on Fort Gregg-Adams and the advanced training conducted at the McMahon Training Facility on Fort Walker. Key topics of discussion were aspects of developing Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) systems and processes for an Army EOD force.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen may things on our visit to the EOD center here in Virginia to implement in our school,\u201d said Lt. Col. El Hadji Ndiaye, Senegalese Army EOD School deputy commander. \u201cBeing able to see how you guys [U.S. Army] train is very insightful.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. Army Maj. Ian Bloomsburg, deputy director for the U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF)<\/a> counter IED office, said the primary focus for the Senegalese team was to gain insight on how to improve their EOD school in Senegal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United Nations<\/a> is looking for a French speaking Counter IED Center of Excellence, and Senegal is in the best position to do that,\u201d Bloomsburg said. \u201cSo having a more robust, more developed generating capability is the benefit that they will directly get from it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Upon returning home, the team will submit reports to their leadership on possible ways to move forward with their EOD activity in support of the United Nations\u2019 peacekeeping mission<\/a>.<\/p>\n
