Conflict Prevention in East Africa
The Indirect Approach
The indirect approach used by Combined Joint Task Force–Horn of Africa (CJTF–HOA) is aimed at increasing the security capacity of partner militaries through military-to-military and civil-military engagements. These engagements enable our partners to bolster security and generate trust and confidence in populations impacted by instability and vulnerable to the influences of violent extremism. This article explains how and why, through persistent engagement, the task force conducts security-focused operations and activities that are in line with diplomatic and development initiatives in support of US and partner nation objectives in the region.
