US service members hunker down for French Desert Commando Course

U.S. Army National Guard Spc. Keifer Davis, 3rd Battalion, 144th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Bayonet, stacks rocks as he sets up a defensive position on the first day of a French Desert Commando Course at the Djibouti Range Complex near Arta, Djibouti, Nov. 26, 2017. The 12-day course will expose service members to the fundamentals of desert combat, survival, and troop movements while also bridging language and cultural barriers between the French and American troops.
