[quote:novamom:MV8xODk0MTM5XzMyNzIzMzY4XzdEQTNCRUU5] The US has been there and more people have been deployed over there the past few weeks. I love that the article makes it sound as if it's only 3000 or a little more soliders. Here's an article about a mission to safe guard Africa and it's assests. In other words USA wants your oil. For the life of me I cannot figure out what this has to do with homeland security... shouldn't they be worried about our borders, not theres? http://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2012/07/mission-to-africa-strengthening-global-partnerships/ [/quote]

A brigade will deploy to Africa next year in a pilot program that assigns brigades on a rotational basis to regions around the globe, the Army announced in May.
Roughly 3,000 soldiers — and likely more — are expected to serve tours across the continent in 2013, training foreign militaries and aiding locals.
As part of a “regionally aligned force concept,” soldiers will live and work among Africans in safe communities approved by the U.S. government, said Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, head of U.S. Army Africa.
