The Army is deployed over three military regions, with one battalion assigned to each regional command. Other formations include six infantry battalions (one a training unit) and one each of the following battalions: Presidential Guard, airborne/commando, armored reconnaissance, and engineer. There is also one artillery battalion with five batteries, one anti-aircraft battalion with six batteries, and support units for the HQ regiments. The Navy's headquarters are located at Douala, with smaller bases at Kribi and Limbe. There seems to be only one formal Air Force squadron, described variously as a fighter/ground attack unit with a secondary training role or as a composite unit. Cameroon's armed forces are currently deployed in three peacekeeping missions: 755 troops and four observers are deployed with MINUSCA in the Central African Republic; two troops and one observer are deployed with MINUSMA in Mali; and two troops are deployed with the MONUSCO mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
