Graduates of the US military’s Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET) program were honored this week after completing a month-long engagement between the US Army Civil Affairs Team 126 and Sierra Leone’s Force Reconnaissance Unit and State Protection Service.

The exercise focused on strengthening skills in citizen engagement, mission planning, leadership, and advanced medical treatment.

Participants received hands-on training in trauma response, tactical care, and other critical areas essential for operational readiness.

Officials noted that the collaboration emphasized knowledge sharing and practical exercises designed to enhance the capacity of Sierra Leone’s security forces to respond effectively in the field.
