00:00.000 --> 00:03.307
- So African Lion 2020
is the annual exercise

00:03.307 --> 00:05.620
that occurs here in Morocco

00:05.620 --> 00:07.840
and right now, I'm here
at the mid planning event

00:07.840 --> 00:10.410
to partner with the Moroccan
Military veterinarian

00:10.410 --> 00:13.160
to decide what things
are most important for us

00:13.160 --> 00:15.310
to focus on for next year's iteration.

00:15.310 --> 00:17.260
But we're also looking
even further forward

00:17.260 --> 00:19.724
at African Lion 21 and the even future

00:19.724 --> 00:23.220
to see what we can do to make
our veterinary engagements

00:23.220 --> 00:24.630
even more important to all of us.

00:24.630 --> 00:26.830
So the veterinary
component of this exercise

00:26.830 --> 00:28.640
is really important to both

00:28.640 --> 00:30.480
military's veterinary services

00:30.480 --> 00:33.290
because we experience a
lot of the same challenges

00:33.290 --> 00:36.282
and we would like to learn
from each other in that regard.

00:36.282 --> 00:38.165
We also experience a lot
of different challenges

00:38.165 --> 00:40.752
and it's important for
us to identify those

00:40.752 --> 00:42.780
in different areas of the world

00:42.780 --> 00:44.900
so that we can partner and become better

00:44.900 --> 00:46.500
and learn from each other.

00:46.500 --> 00:48.707
We hope to create a strong relationship

00:48.707 --> 00:50.691
and a really strong foundation for us

00:50.691 --> 00:53.010
to be able to build on in the future

00:53.010 --> 00:55.953
to make these exercises
even more successful.
