Grafenwoehr, GERMANY-- Brig. Gen. Christopher G. Cavoli, the Commanding General of the 7th Army Joint Multinational Training Command, met with leaders from the Senegal and Uganda army June 23 here.
The distinguished visitors were given a tour of some of the facilities and observed some of the live training that takes place in the Grafenwoehr Training Area.
After the tour, Cavoli sat down with the visitors to explain the training and capabilities the 7A JMTC and its subordinate units have to offer U.S. Soldiers and our North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies.
"We are very accustomed to helping other armies develop the concepts and practical aspects of creating and building a training center," said Cavoli. "We recently worked with Ukraine, Romania and Poland, so we are much practiced on working with other countries to build whatever level they desire in a training facility."
Both representatives expressed that they were impressed by what U.S. Army and JMTC had to offer.
"We are currently deployed in several theaters and we are now looking into the integration of simulation to train our troop," said Senegal Col. Amadou Anta Gueye, the ranking representative of the Senegal Army. "I am confident that what I have seen here today will help better train our Senegal soldiers."
"I was impressed by what I saw," Brig. Gen. Jack Bakasumba, the ranking representative for the Uganda Army, "I hope that with the help of the U.S. Army we can get some of these training structures built for us."
After the meeting the visitors ended the day by visiting range control and observing one last live fire exercise.
