The U.S. Army created Security Force Assistance Brigades to provide conventional advising and assistance capabilities to allies and partners. SFABs increase the ability to perform these tasks on a large scale, by focusing on battalion and brigade sized formations….

“As the U.S. Army and Joint Forces train together and seek to outpace our adversaries, we must not outpace our allies and partners. 4th SFAB engagements provide Army-to-army relationships vital to large scale combat operations and strategic deterrence,” Born said.
