U.S. Marine Capt. Jeremy Phillips, the intelligence security cooperation Officer with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa, discusses intelligence gathering with Ghanaia Navy intelligence at Ghana’s Navy Trade Training School in Sekondi, Ghana, Oct. 19. U.S. forces completed a Tactical Intelligence Support To Maritime Operations Centers “train-the-trainer” course for the Ghanaian Navy from Oct. 12-23. This two-week introduction to intelligence was the first of four planned for the fiscal year. U.S. Navy and Marine Corps service members taught Sixteen Ghanaian sailors, along with two senior members of Ghana’s Marine Police Unit of the Ghana Police Service. The course was designed as both an introduction to the intelligence process, particularly in support of their MOCs, and to prepare the students to become intelligence instructors for the Ghanaian Navy’s internal intelligence courses.
