USEUCA

USEUCA, which stands for the United States European Command Africa, is a unified command of the United States military responsible for military operations in Africa. Established in 2008, it is headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, and is part of the United States European Command (USEUCOM). The command's mission is to provide military support to African nations, enhance interoperability with African military forces, and contribute to regional stability and security.

USEUCA's primary areas of focus include counter-terrorism, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and peacekeeping operations. The command works closely with African partners to address common security challenges, such as piracy, transnational crime, and conflict resolution. It also plays a crucial role in supporting the African Union's peace and security architecture.

The command's structure includes various subordinate units, such as the 7th Army, which is responsible for training and equipping African military forces, and the 7th Army Sustainment Command, which provides logistical support to operations in Africa. USEUCA also collaborates with other U.S. military commands, such as the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), to ensure a coordinated approach to security and stability in the region.

USEUCA's operations are guided by the principles of partnership, interoperability, and sustainability. The command aims to build long-term relationships with African nations, fostering mutual trust and cooperation. By doing so, USEUCA contributes to the overall security and stability of Africa, aligning with the broader U.S. foreign policy objectives in the region.
