AFSSAs

AFSSAs stands for the Armed Forces of Sierra Leone. This organization is the military of Sierra Leone, responsible for national defense and security. The AFSSAs comprises the Sierra Leone Army, the Sierra Leone Navy, and the Sierra Leone Air Force. Its primary mission is to protect the territorial integrity of Sierra Leone from external aggression and to support internal security operations when required. The AFSSAs also plays a role in disaster relief and humanitarian assistance within the country.

The history of the AFSSAs dates back to the colonial era, with its precursor being the Royal West African Frontier Force. Following Sierra Leone's independence in 1961, the AFSSAs was established as a national defense force. Over the years, the AFSSAs has undergone significant transformations, including periods of rapid expansion and restructuring, particularly in the aftermath of the Sierra Leone Civil War. International support and training have been crucial in its development and modernization. The AFSSAs is under the command of the President of Sierra Leone, who is the Commander-in-Chief.
