摘要

Our command has a unique mission designed around building partnerships for security and stability in Africa. AFRICOM, in concert with other government agencies and international partners, conducts sustained security engagement through military-to-military programs, military-sponsored activities and other military operations as directed to promote a stable and secure African environment in support of U.S. foreign policy. This is important for our national security as Africa is rapidly growing in economic, social, political and military importance in global affairs. Peace and stability on the continent impact both African interests and those of the United States and the international community.
