Boating and Watercraft Safety 🛟

Lakes, rivers, and coastal waters offer great recreational opportunities, but boating requires preparation and respect for the water. Adhering to watercraft safety guidelines prevents drowning and serious mishaps.

⛵ Wear a Life Jacket:
Ensure every passenger has a U.S. Coast Guard-approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) that fits properly. Most boating fatalities result from drowning, often involving victims not wearing PFDs.

🚣 Avoid Boating Under the Influence (BUI):
Alcohol affects judgment, vision, and coordination. The sun, wind, and the boat's motion can accelerate impairment.

🚤 Monitor Weather:
Summer storms roll in quickly. Check forecasts before departing and keep a weather radio handy to track changing conditions.

🛶 File a Float Plan:
Tell a responsible person your destination and expected return time. This ensures authorities are alerted immediately if you become overdue.

🛥️ Maintain Awareness:
Watch for other vessels, swimmers, and debris. Strictly adhere to all navigational rules and posted no-wake zones.
Equip Your Vessel: Ensure your craft is registered and carries the required gear, including flares, horns, and extinguishers. Confirm the operator is properly trained and licensed.

“U.S. Africa Command confirms the recovery of our second Soldier, Spc. Mariyah Collington. We mourn her loss and stand with her family and the 10th Army Air & Missile Defense Command community in this moment of grief.

The search that brought her home was a testament to what combined operations look like at their best. Alongside the U.S. Joint Force, the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces contributed ground, air, and maritime assets — and more importantly, their full commitment — from the first moment to the last. African Lion builds partnerships for exactly these moments. Morocco proved what those partnerships mean.”

— General Dagvin Anderson and Command Sergeant Major Garric Banfield
