ALGIERS - U.S. Marine Corps Gen Michael Langley, Commander of U.S. Africa Command, conducted his third visit to Algeria on January 22, 2025, signing a Military Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

The signing occurred together with the Algerian Minister Delegate to the Minister of National Defense and Chief of Staff to the National People’s Army, General Saïd Chanegriha. 

The visit and signing of the MOU between the United States and Algeria illustrate our two countries’ shared vision to strengthen regional and international peace and stability through strategic dialogue. 

U.S. Africa Command, one of 11 U.S. Department of Defense combatant commands with an area of responsibility covering 53 African states, more than 800 ethnic groups, over 1,000 languages, vast natural resources, a land mass that is three-and-a-half times the size of the U.S., and nearly 19,000 miles of coastland. Working alongside its partners, AFRICOM counters transnational threats and malign actors, strengthens security forces and responds to crises.
