US Military

Over 3,000 US troops will begin supporting missions in Africa in 2013 on an ‘as needed’ basis for specific deployments, as part of the US military’s “regional alignment concept.” The rotational model, which aims to supply soldiers for brief, training-oriented missions, will be tested in Africa and is being considered for other commands, including Europe and the Asia-Pacific.
