<p>The war games exercise, referred to as African Lion, includes more than 7,000 troops from at least 30 nations, and was set to conclude in early May. The exercise was to play out across the four African nations of Morocco, Ghana, Senegal, and Tunisia.</p>
<p>The annual war games exercise — which was first launched in 2004 — includes American service members from the United States Marine Corps, Air Force, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard — and is touted as a chance to bring together senior leadership from several allied nations in cooperation and strategic development.</p>
