U.S. to Send Combat Brigade to Africa 
--------------------------------------


 
The U.S. military has announced plans to deploy a combat brigade to
Africa beginning next year. On Wednesday, the Pentagon said small teams
of soldiers operating out of the U.S. Africa Command will be sent around
the continent to conduct training and take part in military exercises.
U.S. special forces and military advisers are currently in Uganda
carrying out operations and training African Union troops.
