Two Moroccan military cadets have enrolled in prestigious United States military academies, marking a significant development in defense cooperation between Morocco and the U.S., according to the U.S. Embassy in Rabat.

A Royal Air Force cadet has become the first Moroccan to join the U.S. Air Force Academy in 30 years. Additionally, a Royal Navy cadet has made history as the first Moroccan ever admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy.

Both cadets will complete a four-year academic and military training program. Upon graduation, they will return to Morocco to serve as officers in the Royal Armed Forces.
