Air Force Staff Sergeant Will Bracy met with airmen who are committed to saving lives and saving equipment. Story: VO: (00:00:02) The highly dangerous leak in this F-16…is not real. It’s part of a simulation during exercise African Lion 15 in the Kingdom of Morocco. Assistant Fire Chief Master Sergeant Jordan Boyd and his airmen teamed up with firefighters from the Royal Moroccan Air Force to simulate a leak from an F-16. The Moroccans learned new firefighting techniques, and Master Sergeant Boyd says his airmen learned something from the Moroccans. MSgt Boyd: (00:29:09) Their teamwork, their camaraderie, they’re very tight, um, they eat meals together, they spend a lot of time together when they’re on duty, they’re very cohesive, and I think we can take away from that. It’s a great time here; I enjoyed working with the Moroccans and my fellow firefighters.  VO: (00:38:20) both teams learned from each other through working together, creating a strong bond between U-S and Moroccan service members for the future.
