Secret US base in Somalia is getting some ‘emergency runway repairs’
By: Kyle Rempfer  
The U.S. Defense Department awarded a more than $12 million contract for “emergency runway repairs†at Camp Baledogle, Somalia, last month.
Camp Baledogle was the subject of a Foreign Policy Magazine exclusive this year in which it was described as a training base for Somali Army commandos. The trainers were reported to be U.S. contractors working for Bancroft Global Development.
Now, the new runway repairs appear to be stepping up the capabilities of the airfield there, and could be the harbinger of an expanding U.S. foot print in Somalia.
