Morocco, US hold electronic warfare drills

Morocco is taking part in a US-led military exercise dubbed, Arcane Thunder 24, focused on electromagnetic warfare precision synchronization exercises that will take place in Germany and Morocco.

“Arcane Thunder 24 will apply non-lethal effects within the multi-domain concept to ensure Allied and partner nations have a decisive advantage against potential adversaries across all domains and the human, physical and information dimensions of the operating environment,” Col. Patrick Moffett, 2nd Multi-Domain Task Force commander, said in a statement.

“It’s another opportunity to further strengthen cooperation and highlight the longstanding partnership between the U.S. and Morocco through the testing and synchronization of capabilities,” he said.

Approximately 200 U.S. Soldiers from the 2nd Multi-Domain Task Force and Multi-Domain Effects Battalion participate with approximately 100 Allied and partner Soldiers from the United Kingdom, Germany and Morocco.

Exercises like Arcane Thunder are conducted to build strong and strategic relationships while improving ability to ensure that partner forces are equipped with the capability to synchronize and employ non-lethal effects across all domains against adversaries.
The exercise is taking place from August 5 to 16
