U.S. Marines deployed the latest generation of ground sensor systems during Exercise African Lion 26, a joint training event hosted in Tunisia. The Ground Sensor Platoon of the 2nd Intelligence Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force, worked alongside Tunisian special forces in northern forests, practicing emplacement, monitoring and recovery of sensors in daylight and low‑light conditions. Marines demonstrated how the devices provide early warning of movement in complex terrain, supporting Tunisia’s border security. The exercise, part of U.S. Africa Command’s largest annual joint drill, involved more than 5,600 personnel from over 40 countries and aimed to strengthen collective security capabilities. For the Marines, the deployment marked the first use of the new sensor systems outside the United States and reinforced their role in partner‑led regional security.
