| Summary |
A review of U.S. defense posture in North and West Africa since 2012 reveals that changes have been crisis-driven and constrained by AFRICOM's persistent lack of resourcing, rather than being informed by strategic objectives. Proposals being considered at the Defense Department to drastically reduce troop levels in Africa may depart from this pattern, while leaving the United States no better prepared to face emerging security threats in the region. The United States should scale its resourcing to meet its policy objectives, but these objectives should themselves be tailored to realistic threat assessments |
