South Atlantic Logistical Island (SALI)

The west coast of Africa does not have a quick reaction force to respond to crisis. This paper focuses on a future state of the African continent in 2035 2040. The reader will understand the problem and see a solid solution by reading the most likely future projected state of Africa 2035-2040, the current issues in Nigeria, the literature review of the current logistical issues in Africa, the current state of African logistics research paper, and the creation of a pre-staged logistics base on Ascension Island in order for the joint force commander to be responsive, flexible, and provide sustainment for crisis in West Africa.
