Preparations are underway in Côte d’Ivoire for the 5th edition of the Flintlock military exercise.

More than 30 nations, including the United States, Benin, Cameroon, and Italy, are in Abidjan to coordinate efforts for the multinational training.

Organized by the U.S. Africa Command, Flintlock is regarded as the largest annual gathering of special operations forces on the continent.
