CJTF-HOA service members complete French Desert Commando Course
U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Clinton Petty (center), command sergeant major of the 3rd Battalion, 144th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Bayonet, attached to Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), calls out serial numbers for French Desert Commando Course pins after the course graduation ceremony near Ali Sabieh, Djibouti, Dec. 7, 2017. Each service member, all of whom are assigned to CJTF-HOA, received a pin that was specifically designated to him for graduating the 12-day course. During the course, they learned the fundamentals of desert combat, survival, and troop movements while also bridging language and cultural barriers between French and American troops.
