Long-term partnerships with at least six African countries expected, SFAB colonel says

A recent deployment of Army advisors to Africa saw U.S. troops pull out of Somalia but increase their footprint on the continent, beginning training missions in Senegal, Kenya and Ghana.
Col. Michael P. Sullivan, head of 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, told reporters Wednesday that he expects the SFAB mission in Africa to grow.

Sullivan said there will be persistent partnerships with at least six to seven nations and intermittent deployments across the continent.
