US commandos are preparing for the expedition to Africa?

In recent years, overseas seriously started talking about Africa as the next area of ​​interest in the world of ebullient, says Roman Skomorokhov portal & Quot; Military Review". And right would, if said hot guys such as National Interest, they are somewhat overdoing, but overall a very logical veterans.

The conversation has been raised New York Times, a very serious and specific edition. The second most popular in the United States.

so here, the staff of the newspaper was made analysis, that between 2015 by 2017 years was at least ten attacks on American troops in West Africa, not previously reported.

Ten attacks for two years. About which & quot; not previously reported & quot;. Respectively, It was those, reported.

This is not surprising. Africa is not yet calm area. And no wonder, that is always something happening on the territory of the continent. Somewhere civil wars, somewhere just ordered long to live next state, and in its place formed territory, controlled by gangs.

Respectively, in Africa becomes a very interesting place for mercenaries and & quot; ihtamnetov & quot; of every persuasion. And that's okay too.

In Africa, still enough places, where there is nothing to pay. And there the situation is, that of mercenaries for control are more serious guys. Although mercenaries – it is also a serious issue.

Another American newspaper, Politico, also I decided to join the general chorus and a few materials actually & quot; passed & quot; The fact, that for quite a long time, the US special forces such as & quot; Green Berets & quot;, & Quot; sea lions & quot; and the other Rangers and commandos, & Quot; work & quot; in Africa.

And not by choice, and & quot; based on & quot;. Law or act is not entirely clear, to be honest, but it is mentioned many American journalists. This so-called Section 127, according to which American spetsaryam is not something that is permitted, prescribed work in Somalia, Cameroon, Kenya, Had, Mauritania, Libya, Tunisia, in Niger.

This is not surprising and is normal.

It is worth noting, American journalists are not trying to make a secret of their actions specialist. conversely, all very well painted.

This specific intelligence activities, small-scale offensive actions, the fight against terrorism, hostage rescue, security assistance.

The latter is necessary to explain. Security Help – it is primarily a training and consulting security services and forces of the State, on whose territory the work.

& Quot; Small-scale offensive action & quot;— it is only a grip areas and the redistribution of property. As with the mercenaries in Syria.

Well, OK, that almost everywhere US commandos involved in different kinds of exercises. It was in Europe, in the same Ukraine. Why not be in other places?

Of course, be.

Furthermore, if national authorities have the resources or the money, to pay more serious guys, than mercenaries, why not help? Experts thin profile – It is a commodity, as the ATGM or MANPADS. And not just for the United States, occasionally & quot; fly & quot; heap specialists countries, where the army does have.

AND, respectively, special forces soldiers fulfill their mission. For paid with interest.

If this mission ends successfully, but they are usually just that end, something about them no one says anything, because no one knows, and no reason. Even last year, US special forces have been deployed in 149 countries. In fact, it is three-quarters of the world's countries.

according to information, voiced New York Times, US special forces soldiers to carry out special missions 133 countries. A wide variety of, according to the above spisochki.

The figure does not taken from the ceiling. Data provided by the US Special Operations Command USSOCOM. Information about how, the number of countries and operations decreases, no.

Ushsocon. A single operational management of the Special Forces (SPN) in all kinds of US forces: Army, Air Force, Navy (including special forces of the United States Marine Corps).

serious institution. If you dig even Wikipedia, and then use calculator, it will turn out very impressive numbers. More 70 thousands of troops plus reservists and the National Guard under, where they holed up, who really misses in reserve. really – more 100 thousand fighters. And it is not a construction battalion, sorry. & Quot; Green Beret & quot;, & Quot; rangers & quot;, & Quot; seals & quot; and others. It is currently usable at any time.

How to reserve, probably, something boring… Good, Fathers-commanders will not get bored.

February 2018 of the year. & Quot; Ranger & quot; provide training to military action in the winter in Germany. & Quot; Green Beret & quot; in February-March and spend essentially similar tasks on the invitation of the Swedish. April. Nigeria. Annual & quot; festival & quot; Special Forces Flintlock, held in Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Senegal. The exercise Nigerian troops have been involved, Burkina Faso, Had, Poland, Spain and Portugal, US involved & quot; green & quot;.

A month after the exercises have practice. & Quot; Green Beret & quot; benefited from the soul Afghan commandos in the night attack in Nangarhar province. During the operation, like, if you believe the reports of official and semi-official sources, It was eliminated important warlord factions LIH (banned in Russia). Or maybe, and it was not.

In general, the American & quot; ihtamnety & quot; working for the good of their country, very hard no hands, neither automatic rifles.

In May, the annual awards ceremony, during which only a & quot; green berety & quot; received more than 60 awards for military valor, including 20 bronze star and four silver stars.

& Quot; Silver Star & quot;— this is serious, by the way. This is not a medal of the Order of & quot; For Service & quot;. US third award, if anything. After Medals of Honor and & quot; Distinguished Service & quot;.

& Quot; Seals & quot;, by the way, did not lagging behind the aircraft land or colleagues. If you believe the chapter MTR US Navy Rear Admiral Szymanski, the US has 1 000 & Quot; sea lions & quot; and other military, deployed over 35 countries. And & quot; seals & quot; have at least, and can, even a busy schedule, than their terrestrial counterparts. With very extensive geography, from the Arabian Gulf to the coast of Thailand.

Generally, people are busy with chores. During the already mentioned ceremony, it was noted, which it was successfully completed MTR forces for nearly two years 3000 combat missions.

And Africa is not just a area of ​​interest and work MTR, continent is the fastest growing region in terms of the presence there of the special forces of the US operations.

Judge for yourself. AT 2006 all year around operated in Africa 1 percent of American special forces, deployed abroad. TO 2016 , that number jumped to 17 percent. it, sorry, nearly 2 000 only men, not counting clerks, cooks and other servants. More, than in any region of the world, Besides, understandably, Middle East.

At this point, it has been involved in Africa 1700 Special Forces soldiers, distributed between 20 countries, ie more, than anywhere else, with the exception of the Middle East.

Last year, US Secretary of Defense James Mattis made a landmark statement, especially not noticed public. It's a pity, that is not immediately understood everything, what I mean. & Quot; general purpose forces can perform much of the work, which is now held, – he said. – Generally, eg, Control in the Sahel, in north-west Africa, many of those forces, which support the French operations, do not apply to special purpose forces. Therefore, we will continue to expand the use of general-purpose forces there, where appropriate. I expect a more active use of their & quot;.

Translation from diplomatic war sounds: less SWAT, More conventional forces. Of course, we do not believe, that the difference between MTR and conventional forces gradually disappears. Another question, that conventional forces will take the mission, previously carried out by commandos.

The number of special forces in Africa could be reduced, but the total number of US troops, given the secret fighting, which leads to the continent America, Did not likely.

knowing the nature of the, peacefulness and flexibility of our American & quot; partner & quot;, should doubt the sincerity of all, from the Minister of Defense and below. SOCOM otherwise require add for some devil in 2019 year about 1000 employees, and we are not talking about the programmers and secretaries…

The most remarkable, that in the Senate, at a meeting of the Subcommittee, chaired by Martin Heinrich, SOCOM taken and have allowed to grow & quot; about 2 thousands of people & quot;.

What trifles, if people need to eat?

Overall command of the United States make clear MTR 2018 record year. And in terms of increasing the MTR staff, and in terms of increasing its presence geographically. We are talking about the unfolding of the presence of MTR even in 17 countries before the end of the year.

What are the roots of such a steady expansion of its presence? All, in general, it just.

For Americans, progress on the path of military today are more common (with the exception of the Korean demarche and Syria), than successes on the diplomatic battlefield.

In fact, the United States must win to win at all costs. If you can not cope diplomats, in case go commandos. This is supported primarily involving CCO this year in combat operations in Cameroon, Iraq, Kenya, Libya, Afghanistan, Mauritania, Philippines, Somalia, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen, Had, Nigeria.

In fact, three-quarters of these countries are in Africa.

It remains only to understanding, that the time & quot; Green Berets & quot; and & quot; seals & quot; solve the problem of & quot; national security & quot;, ie strategic issues, designed for the benefit of multinational corporations nature of oil and gas, instead of politicians, respectively, do not expect peace and tranquility in Africa. That is the image and likeness of the Middle East.

It makes sense to change the script, and if everything is going according to plan?
