Counterparts from U.S. African Command, the Michigan National Guard, and the Armed Forces of Liberia participate in a remote meeting January 20, 2021, as a part of an initiative of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM)’s Office of Legal Counsel known as Command Advice, Investigations, and Coordination (CAIC, pronounced “cake”). This new program deepens military adherence to the rule of law and facilitates military support to the prosecution of terrorists. It is implemented through a series of multilateral and bilateral engagements, with National Guard units taking the lead on bilateral engagements where partnerships already exist. Michigan and Liberia have had an established relationship under the U.S. National Guard Bureau's State Partnership Program (SPP) since 2010 (Courtesy Photo).
