The report recommends fewer ground missions and higher required levels of command approval for operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"b-article__text\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>The report, compiled by\u00a0US Africa Command (AFRICOM), calls for\u00a0a slashing of\u00a0US ground missions in\u00a0Niger\u00a0\u2014 and for\u00a0missions to\u00a0require approval from\u00a0AFRICOM leaders in\u00a0Stuttgart, Germany, or the Pentagon instead of\u00a0commanders on\u00a0the ground.<\/p>\n<p>US soldiers in\u00a0Niger are not authorized to\u00a0engage enemy combatants except\u00a0in self-defense, but\u00a0AFRICOM&#8217;s field commanders in\u00a0Niger have the authority to\u00a0send them on\u00a0reconnaissance patrols. This proved controversial when it was found that the US soldiers who were ambushed were conducting a reconnaissance sortie in\u00a0an area where Islamic militant groups were known to\u00a0operate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"marker-quote1\"><strong>The report also found several &#8220;missteps&#8221; in\u00a0the handling of\u00a0the mission, including &#8220;a breakdown in\u00a0communications that may have stemmed from\u00a0a failure by\u00a0members of\u00a0the American and Nigerien team, and their superiors, to\u00a0check their equipment before\u00a0heading out\u00a0on the Oct. 4 mission.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked about\u00a0the report on\u00a0Sunday, US Defense Secretary James Mattis said that he had yet to\u00a0receive the final version. &#8220;I would expect it as\u00a0soon as\u00a0the AFRICOM commander has reviewed it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is extensive. It is thousands of\u00a0pages long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"marker-quote1\">The US has maintained forces in\u00a0Niger since\u00a0at least 2013 to\u00a0coordinate with\u00a0Niamey against\u00a0Islamic militant groups active in\u00a0the region. The force started out\u00a0as 100 US soldiers to\u00a0operate unarmed reconnaissance drones, but\u00a0the mission has ballooned to\u00a0include armed Reaper drones as\u00a0well as\u00a0more than\u00a0800 US soldiers and. Their mission is to\u00a0aid in\u00a0the quest to &#8220;defeat violent extremism in\u00a0Africa&#8221; and respond to\u00a0the &#8220;global threat with\u00a0foreign fighters,&#8221; according to\u00a0US Chairman of\u00a0the Joint Chiefs of\u00a0Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford in\u00a0October.<\/p>\n<p>The October 4 ambush occurred near\u00a0the village of\u00a0Tongo Tongo along\u00a0the border between\u00a0Niger and neighboring Mali, about\u00a0120 miles from\u00a0the Nigerien capital of\u00a0Niamey. A dozen US soldiers were accompanying 30 Nigerien soldiers in\u00a0a sortie searching for\u00a0a local Islamic militant, although the Pentagon has refused to\u00a0disclose the specifics of\u00a0the US mission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The militants sprang an ambush on\u00a0the US and Nigerien troops, opening fire on\u00a0them with\u00a0machine guns and destroying their vehicles with\u00a0rocket-propelled grenades. The battle ended when French air support stationed in\u00a0Mali arrived, sending the militants into\u00a0retreat.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"marker-quote1\">The militants are believed to\u00a0be with\u00a0a new branch of\u00a0Daesh that has formed, the so-called Islamic State in\u00a0the Greater Sahel (ISGS). Other groups such as\u00a0the local al-Qaeda offshoot and the infamous Boko Haram have also made their presence known in\u00a0the region, but\u00a0have rarely ranged outside\u00a0of it.<\/p>\n<p>The incident became a major talking point as\u00a0many Americans, including some lawmakers, expressed surprise that the US maintained a military presence in\u00a0Niger at\u00a0all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But the US maintains a military presence in\u00a051 of\u00a0the 54 African countries: only Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau are exempt. The bulk of\u00a0resources are concentrated in\u00a0Niger, the beleaguered Libya and Somalia\u00a0\u2014 the latter two of\u00a0which are in\u00a0the midst of\u00a0civil wars that include Islamic militant factions\u00a0\u2014 and Djibouti, a tiny nation that reaps millions in\u00a0revenue from\u00a0allowing foreign countries such as\u00a0China, France, Italy and Japan to\u00a0maintain military bases on\u00a0its soil.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times has reportedly acquired the results of the military investigation into the October ambush of US and Nigerien troops that left four Americans and five Nigeriens dead.
