U.S. deploys 200 troops and drones to Nigeria for surveillance and training, not combat, to aid counterinsurgency against Boko Haram and ISWAP.
The U.S. has deployed about 200 troops and MQ-9 drones to Nigeria’s Bauchi airfield at Nigeria’s request to support counterinsurgency efforts against Islamist militants like Boko Haram and ISWAP.
The mission, focused on intelligence gathering and training, does not involve combat or airstrikes.
It marks a shift from the closed U.S. drone base in Niger and reflects renewed U.S. engagement in West Africa amid persistent threats, including recent attacks like a suicide bombing in northeastern Nigeria.
The partnership is limited to surveillance and intelligence sharing, with no U.S. forces embedded in frontline units.
