An Analysis of Africa Command's Organizational Structure

Abstract

This Strategy Research Project is an investigation of Africa Command's (AFRICOM) organizational structure. AFRICOM was recently established and it possesses a non-traditional organizational structure designed to enhance inter-agency coordination and shape the African environment. The investigation of AFRICOM's organizational structure explores Africa's cultural climate and continental challenges, examines the inter-agency and other regional partners (United Nations, African Union and African Regional Economic Communities), and reviews AFRICOM's mission and tasks with an eye toward optimal command structure. The researcher contends that Africa command's structure and resources are not optimized for the dynamic and exceptionally diverse states that characterize the region.
