8 African nations attend APF

Attendees of the 2022 African Partnership Flight participate in an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance capstone, Nov. 5, 2022 in Tunis, Tunisia. APF serves as opportunity to open dialogue between air force leaders across the continent, identify opportunities for the U.S. to assist African partners, and implement collective solutions. Building partnership capacity towards ISR objectives provides coalition forces the advanced capabilities to detect and defend against a spectrum of threats while promoting regional security and stability.
