Product Description
On November 10, 2003 members of Kilo Company
3rd Battalion 25th Marine Regiment flew to West Africa to
participate in joint training with local military forces
in the countries of Ghana, The Gambia, and Senegal.
Swift and
Company K follows Kilo Company 3/25 Marines as they
interact for the first time with their West African counterparts.
As one of only three reserve infantry battalions not activated
for deployment since September 11, 2001, this is the unit's
first overseas deployment, consisting of a variety of missions
including joint patrol, helo insertions, live-fire exercises
with multiple weapons, riverine operations, and amphibious
landings.
In the context of increased global security
concerns, Kilo Company's mission to Africa also marks an
increasing US interest in Africa. It also gave the Marines
a chance to engage one-to-one with West African soldiers
at a time when stereotypes of Africa, Muslims, Christians,
and Americans are hazy at best.
