This provided additional security enables U.S. Embassies to continue operations in challenging security environments. Furthermore, we integrate with host nation, partner, and Allied militaries throughout the Horn of Africa to share intelligence, conduct exercises, and plan for crisis contingency operations. With the Djiboutian Coast Guard and EUNAVFOR mission partners, we conduct our annual Exercise BULL SHARK to conduct crisis response and personnel recovery training in order to reinforce combat capabilities and partnership interoperability between like-minded partners in a combined joint environment. In support of our French and Djiboutian Army partners, CJTF-HOA participates in Exercise WAKRI to reinforce combat capabilities and partner interoperability with a focus on communication and Casualty Evacuation Operations (CASEVAC OPS). Together, CJTF-HOA is stronger when we work together with our partners and Allies, rather than just the U.S. military operating alone. In the end, our Allies and partners are confident in the U.S.'s capability to effectively operate as a joint and combined force anywhere within Africa.

Nigerian Army; Nigeria Armed Forces

The history of the Nigerian Army dates back to 1863, when Lt Glover of the Royal Navy selected 18 indigenes from the Northern Nigeria and organised them in a local force, known as the "Glover Hausas". They were used to mount punitive expeditions in the Lagos hinterland and to protect British trade routes around Lagos. In 1865, the Glover Hausa became a regular force with the name Hausa Constabulary. It performed both police and military duties for the British colonial government. It later became Lagos Constabulary. In addition, the colonialist included the Royal Niger Company in Northern Nigeria and the Oil Rivers Irregular in 1891. Lord Fredrick Lugard formed the incipient body into West African Frontier Force. Since then, the Army has grown into a formidable force that participated in the two world wars and a Nigerian civil war. The Army also participated in the global peace by deployment of troops in the Congo, Lebanon, and many other countries in support of the United Nations mandate. The Nigerian Army also led the ECOMOG peace enforcement force in the then war-ravaged countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone and restored democracy in those countries. The Nigerian Army, currently being led by Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya is re-organised and fully committed to fighting banditry, illegal oil bunkering, counter terrorism, and counter insurgency operations within the country to restore peace and security in addition to its commitment to global peace through the deployment of troops in the Gambia and Mali.
