Book excerpt: In war-torn West Africa, the terrorist leader Abu Alhaul and his followers are on the run, pursued by the equally merciless forces of the African National Army—whose goal of a united Africa is achieved by the wholesale slaughter of any who oppose them. When a reconnaissance plane from Amphibious Force Two is hit by a missile, four men are forced to bail out into the middle of a jungle bloodbath—and the hunt is on for the American prey. Admiral Dick Holman knows that any move he makes could ignite a political powder keg. But he also knows that the only way to save his men is to go in and get them out. “On a par with Tom Clancy.”—Milos Stankovic “Meadows will have you turning pages and thinking new thoughts.”—Newt Gingrich

Book excerpt: Originally established in 2002 to fight terrorism, the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), based at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, is the U.S. military's main operational presence in Africa. The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), created in 2007 to focus on stability in Africa, has been assessing existing activities -- as well as CJTF-HOA -- against its mission of sustained security engagement in Africa. This report discusses: (1) AFRICOM's decisions on CJTF-HOA's future and whether CJTF-HOA's activities align with the command's mission; and (2) benefits of the task force and challenges it faces.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), newest of the six U.S. Department of Defense geographic combatant commands (CCMDs), was created in 2007 amid great controversy in both Africa and the United States over its location and mission. Over the last 5 years, AFRICOM has matured greatly, overcoming much of the initial resistance from African stakeholders through careful public messaging, and by addressing most of the U.S. interagency concerns about the Command's size and proper role within the U.S. national security/foreign policy community. This Letort Paper describes the geostrategic, operational, and intellectual changes that explain why AFRICOM was created, and debunks three myths about AFRICOM: that it was created to "exploit" Africa's oil and gas riches, "blocks" China's rise in Africa, and that France "opposes" AFRICOM. The author concludes by raising five issues that are important to AFRICOM's future: 1) allocated forces to carry out short-term training engagements in Africa; 2) preference to emerging democracies in the selection of the Command's partner-nations; 3) the desirability of regional approaches in Africa, including helping the African Union and its Regional Economic Communities to establish standby brigades; 4) the location of the Command's headquarters, which should remain in Stuttgart, Germany, for operational efficiency; and, 5) the need to carry out a top-down "right-sizing" exercise at AFRICOM during a time of severe budget constraints and a real risk for the United States of "strategic insolvency."

Book excerpt: A coalition of African nationalists and Muslim extremists have decided the time has come to wipe American influences clean from the face of Africa. Their first target: an enclave of African-American expatriots living in Liberia. It is not only a blood bath—it is an international crisis which demands an immediate U.S. response. Enter Amphibious Group Two, a special joint task force of Naval and Marine components led by Rear Admiral Dick Holman. Their job is simple: liberate the trapped families in Liberia. But in today’s explosive political climate, with ever-shifting alliances and dangerous hidden agendas, nothing is ever that simple. . . . “Not only does the author know his subject but [his] fiction could readily become fact.”—John Tegler, host of the syndicated television show, Capital Conversation.

Book excerpt: "When appropriate, the U.S. Air Force needs to be prepared to supply joint task force (JTF) headquarters. If the U.S. Air Force takes the steps necessary to produce JTF-capable units, both the service and the nation would benefit. The authors consider the nature of JTF command, survey command-related developments in other services and in other elements of the defense community, and examine four JTF operations. They raise issues for the Air Force to consider and offer a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing the Air Force's ability to staff and run JTF headquarters."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: First published in 1998, Peacekeeping in Africa was written to help make up the shortfall in the number of books that concentrated specifically on peacekeeping in Africa. The book covers the main peacekeeping operations of Africa, and provides a wealth of background material. In doing so, it explores the policies and actions of the international organisations concerned and the participating African states. It also considers the impact of sub-regional powers and the role of the USA, Britain, and France. Comprising three parts, Peacekeeping in Africa examines world perspectives, case studies, and wider issues surrounding Africa’s peacekeeping operations.
