From 8-16 January, members of AFRICOM’s Office of Security Cooperation at the U.S Embassy in N’Djamena, Chad partnered with the Ministry of Health and the Chadian security forces to conduct humanitarian missions in the towns of Mondou, Komé, Doba, and Sarh. The missions were conducted at the security force camps in each province. More than 6500 men, women, and children received anti-malaria and de-worming medications provided by the U.S. Department of Defense. The support provided by the MoH and Chadian Army highlighted the importance Chad places on decreasing the number of malaria cases throughout the civilian population. These bilateral missions demonstrate the importance and strength of our civil-military cooperation and directly benefit the Chadian populace.

U.S. Africa Command, one of 11 U.S. Department of Defense combatant commands, is responsible for employing broad-reaching diplomacy, development, and defense approaches to foster partnership efforts to promote regional security, stability, and prosperity. U.S. AFRICOM’s area of responsibility consists of 53 African states, more than 800 ethnic groups, over 1,000 languages, vast natural resources, a land mass that is three-and-a-half times the size of the U.S., and nearly 19,000 miles of coastland. Working alongside its partners, AFRICOM counters transnational threats and malign actors, strengthens security forces and responds to crises.
