The troops will conduct surveillance and reconnaissance operations
U.S. President Barack Obama ordered 300 members of the armed forces to Cameroon on Wednesday to counter the militant Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram.
The mission is “part of a broader regional effort to stop the spread of Boko Haram and other violent extremist organizations in West Africa,” the BBC reported White House spokesman Josh Earnest as saying.
An advanced team of 90 troops began deploying on Monday, with additional troops joining to “conduct airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations in the region,” Obama wrote in a letter addressed to Congress.
“These forces are equipped with weapons for the purpose of providing their own force protection and security,” the president wrote.

If we had a President that was committed to winning I would say ... go for it.
However.
And you are right, why us?
Seems strange to the Military fight the terrorist
organizations funded by the IRS and the White Mosque.
Which side is the Moslem pRes_ _ent and GOP on, anyway?
Apparently bokoroko is running out of Christians to slaughter so their fanboy is sending them some Americans.
Has an African country ever stepped up to help another country ?
.
Tru dat
Now Obama is involved, expect Boko Haram to spread right across the African Continent.
The result probably being the majority of the African Continent fleeing to further overwhelm my Continent.
I guess the president didn’t like being bested by Putin. A little show of force here to make the child-in-chief feel like he’s a leader.
OBAMA IS LYING THRU HIS TEETH!!!!
Read this:
These all serve as a cover for its darker and insatiably violent ambitions.
For despite all their intrigue and political gamesmanship, the Muslim Brotherhood is not strictly a political movement, or a financial cabal. It’s also the mothership of virtually all Islamic terrorist groups operating in the world today, including Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, the Taliban, Boko Haram, and many more. Such groups, all children of the Muslim Brotherhood’s fanatical Islamic ideology, are today ethnically cleansing countries such as Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Nigeria of all traces of Christianity. No less than the President of Egypt, Muslim Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, a devout Muslim, has said as much.
Considering how the Muslim Brotherhood and their terrorist pawns treat fellow Muslims in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Iraq, butchering them by the bushel including women and children, it should come as no surprise that Egypt and Saudi Arabia have declared the them a “terrorist” organization.
OBAMA is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and supports Boko Haram!!!
I thought Michelle istagram post got all of them home
#TwoYearsTooLate
&^%$# not our fight.
I say let Putey go in and wipe Boko Harum out instead of stopping them from spreading. What does that mean? stopping them from spreading. How about stopping them from existing.
I would guess we are going to send those 300 troops 20 times more weaponry than they can use...And it’ll all come up missing...
Uhmmmmm.........Doesn't anyone but me find this type of disclosure treasonous, dangerous, irresponsible, and political?
So he IS putting boots on the ground, it just depends which ground, I guess.
I don’t know what, but something other then the declared mission is going on there.
Your right, something is going on and I hope that Putin flattens all of the muslim brotherhood and obuma along with them...
Agent 21, read about it, then you’ll understand...
If the ROE don’t let our troops shoot blacks then why go?
Boots?
How about some of those newly graduated High Heels?
Boko Haram would dig it.
