In February 2007, President Bush announced the formation of United States Africa Command or AFRICOM. When it reaches full operational capability in October 2008, it will join the other five combatant commands: European Command, Southern Command, Northern Command, Central Command, and Pacific Command, as the Department of Defense's unified command structure responsible for specific geographical regions of the world. From the beginning it has been made clear that AFRICOM will be organized differently and have a different mission priority than the current geographic combatant commands. Most apparent is the high ratio of assigned interagency personnel as compared to the other commands. This thesis examines U.S. interests and operating environment in Africa to determine AFRICOM mission focus. It also proposes organization structure to facilitate interagency integration and maximize mission effectiveness.
