The U.S. Marine Corps is arguably one of the most revered institutions within the U.S. Department of Defense. So, when Combined Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) leadership recently welcomed members of the Djibouti Armed Forces (FAD) into the U.S. Marine Corps Corporals Course, it was a distinct honor.

"Thoughts from the Running Trail" - Leadership and Taking Action
/Story/12661/thoughts-from-the-running-trail-leadership-and-taking-action
March 10, 2015
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." ~ Sir Winston Churchill ~ At Combined Joint Task Force – You hear us talk about Ubuntu which is an African Proverb that expresses unity through diversity. One of Ubuntu’s meanings is, “I am because we are.” An individual does not exist without the community; and a community cannot exist without an individual. It can be used the same within a team or an organization. Said another way; “It is not thee, it is we,” and that is how we use the proverb Ubuntu at CJTF-HOA.

"Thoughts from the Running Trail" - Leadership and Cross-Organizational Interaction through Sports

In the African context, sports’ has the ability to create national pride yet it also has the ability to unite - crossing nationalism, ethnicity, race, and religion and clan systems. When two groups from different cultures engage in sports, it is as much a cultural exchange as it is a competition.

SgtMaj and I always say it is a Leadership factory at CJTF-HOA and we build Leaders first. We do so and we are so successful because this command is the most diverse we have seen. It is a melting pot of each of our services; active duty, reserves, and our coalition and civilian partners. We embrace each other’s culture, and, SgtMaj and I challenge each of you to learn from one another’s service culture and service traditions. While being in the countries of our East Africa Partners, share a little of your culture and learn about the culture of the country you are in. In turn, this will make our organization and our mission stronger and more successful.

You’ve probably heard Gen Grigsby or SgtMaj Skinner talk about the fact that they view CJTF-HOA as a leadership factory. They believe, as do we, that our most important job as military leaders is to prepare future leaders to eventually take our places. That has always been the way of the military and it ensures the survivability of our units in combat and the vitality of our services over time. Someone always has to be ready to step up and take charge, regardless of why the previous leader is no longer able to serve.

"Thoughts from the Running Trail" - The Greater Mission
/Story/7884/thoughts-from-the-running-trail
February 7, 2014
Last Sunday, more than 115 million Americans gathered with friends and family to watch the championship game of the National Football League -- the Super Bowl. The big game has become somewhat of a 'de facto holiday' in the United States. Regardless of whether their own favorite teams are playing in the game or not, football fans gather around televisions for one of the biggest social events in American culture. And here, in Djibouti, thousands of miles from home, American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are no different. The big game remains a strong part of who we are as Americans, and sports fans, wherever our military service takes us.
