Royal Moroccan Armed Forces service members and 435th Contingency Response Group Airmen watch a Super Hercules C130-J after completing a combat offload training for Exercise African Lion 18, April 23 at Kenitra Air Base, Morocco. The militaries worked together to move a heavy cargo load off the aircraft, a procedure often used downrange when equipment capabilities are not available. By practicing offloads, the non-NATO allies work together to operate more efficiently in the event of a contingency operation while enhancing professional relationships amongst forces.
