“One of the primary reasons that we value our relationship with Ghana so much is because of the steadfast leadership role that the Government of Ghana and the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) consistently plays in promoting regional peace and security.”

An interagency effort between U.S. Africa Command and the Department of State enabled the donation of personal protective equipment and medical supplies to the the Ghana Armed Forces' COVID-19 treatment facility at El Wak Stadium, near Accra, on July 14.

The PPE donation is a follow-up to the donation of two state of the art Level II Field Hospitals to the Ghana Armed Forces by Ambassador Stephanie Sullivan on Feb. 4 on behalf of the U.S.

“The donation of two state-of-the-art Level II Field Hospitals earlier this year represented a significant U.S. investment in supporting Ghana in this role," Kummerer said. "The donation of critical medical supplies to the GAF last week was more representative of a friend lending a helping hand in a time of need. We recognize the absolutely critical role that the GAF is playing in Ghana's COVID-19 response and we're happy to support them in this noble cause.”

One of the two field hospitals is currently being used for COVID-19 response at El Wak Stadium. The donation of medical supplies and PPE is in furtherance of the partnership between the United States and the Ghana in the fight against COVID-19.

Army lawyers provide training on rules for armed conflict at exercise Justified Accord

NAIROBI, Kenya – Among the flurry of tactical live fires and squad movement drills, air ground integration and even the humanitarian initiatives at exercise Justified Accord 2025 (JA25), lies the one thing those who serve in any armed force must follow: The Law. The Law of Armed Conflict, or LOAC, is a key aspect of training for any military. JA25’s academics course aimed at learning from the international legal lessons of previous wars in an effort to reduce the amount of human suffering in future conflicts. “The soldier’s rules are a broad set of rules that we have pulled from the large breadth of international law,” said U.S. Army Maj. Tim Olliges, an operational law attorney assigned to U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), the lead U.S. Army command and planner of JA25. “The LOAC is extensive and can be complex, so we pull out the ten most critical concepts that every soldier, right down to the private, should know before they go into combat.”
