The objective of this evaluation was to assess the effectiveness with which the Army Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFABs) supported security force assistance (SFA) in the U.S. Africa Command and U.S. Southern Command areas of responsibility.
SFA is DoD activities that support the development of the capability and capacity of foreign security forces and their supporting institutions. In May 2018, the Army announced that it would establish six SFABs. The core mission of these specialized units is to conduct, assess, support, liaise, and advise military operations with allied and partner nations.
