US service members hunker down for French Desert Commando Course

U.S. Army National Guard Sgt. Gabriel Mancera, 3rd Battalion, 144th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Bayonet, carries his rucksack to his defensive position during 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.
