MTRS Talon VI during African Lion 2025 [Social Media 9:16]
U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa
May 5, 2025 | 0:17
Combat engineers assigned to the 173rd Combat Engineer Company, Airborne (CEC-A), 54th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 173rd Airborne Brigade, conduct a squad live-fire exercise (LFX), breaching protective obstacles to seize enemy compounds as part of exercise African Lion 2025 (AL25), Ben Ghilouf Training Area, Tunisia, April 22, 2025. Following the squad LFX, Soldiers simulated an autonomous breach using a man-transportable robotic system (MTRS) to autonomously emplace and remotely detonate a breaching charge on an enemy obstacle. Not only does this set the stage for future events at AL25, but enhances the combat engineer skills necessary when encountering obstacles on modern battlefields.
AL25 is set to be the largest annual military exercise in Africa, bringing together over 40 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) on behalf of the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win.
