A team of U.S. Africa Command instructors train Cote d'Ivoire Armed Forces drivers and mechanics in Abidjan prior to the official handover of 12 armored personnel carriers. The training began in December and focuses on driving, preventative and corrective maintenance, and sustainment. These armored vehicles allow the FACI to provide improved security across Cote d'Ivoire resulting in a more stable and peaceful environment benefiting all Ivoirians. These vehicles and this training highlights the shared commitment towards addressing mutual security challenges.
U.S. Africa Command, one of 11 U.S. Department of Defense combatant commands, is responsible for employing broad-reaching diplomacy, development, and defense approaches to foster partnership efforts to promote regional security, stability, and prosperity. U.S. AFRICOM's area of responsibility consists of 53 African states, more than 800 ethnic groups, over 1,000 languages, vast natural resources, a land mass that is three-and-a-half times the size of the U.S., and nearly 19,000 miles of coastland. Working alongside its partners, AFRICOM counters transnational threats and malign actors, strengthens security forces and responds to crises.
