Yes, that is a ROK (S. Korean) K311 cargo truck. It is an improved version of the old Kaiser/Jeep M715 truck that the ROK used a lot of. Not sure what African country is also using them though.

Mali, Niger, Sudan. The Mali flag is actually on the bumper of the vehicle.
AMA = Armée Malienne

As Academy has brought it out, we can build it as Ukrainian as well.

Are they wearing American WW2 uniforms/boots?

Probably older French uniforms since they were a French colony and still have a close relationship with France and the French military.

This might interest you, Dan:

An international effort if there ever was one. The guy on the back appears to be wearing Italian vegetato camouflage.

I almost went to Mali with 10th SFG as an IMA. I didn’t want to mention it because it sounds like another guy -
I was in charge of TLAMS in Korea. Oh? I made them.
I was trained in explosives. Oh? I worked in a nitroglycerin plant.
I don’t want to be that guy. Although I did make a halfhearted attempt to learn French.

Around 2020? Yeah, the US bailed and they invited Russia in. Hence my not going.

But what a great dio - Korean vehicle, Malian soldiers, Italian and US uniforms, Soviet weapons, maybe a road sign in French. There a lot of Chinese in Bamako. Maybe theey’re eating roadside Chinese take out?
