General Information about the AOR

Most of Africa is part of the area of responsibility of the U.S. European Command. Several African countries, however, are included in U.S. Central Command's AOR, and a few island states of the Indian Ocean, though conventionally included with Africa, are in U.S. Pacific Command's AOR.

The Africa AOR includes the following countries:
  • Algeria
  • Angola
  • Benin
  • Botswana
  • Burkina Faso
  • Burundi
  • Cameroon
  • Cape Verde
  • Central African Republic
  • Chad
