Why are we 'training' these people? Why do we need to be there?It's a standard, rock simple foreign internal defense (FID) mission. It's dirt cheap, it builds international good will, and it can even help (to an extent) keep something resembling a stable government in place against psychotic rebel groups like, say, Boko Haram.

That is what Special Forces do. Train the local military to do the job so we don’t have to send in conventional forces later.

This year, Chad is serving as the main host for the exercises, which also involve training events in Cameroon, Niger, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia. I'd hate to be this poor guy Chad.
