KABUL, Afghanistan — The latest Army unit created to train and advise foreign forces has been activated ahead of a fall deployment to Afghanistan.
The 4th Security Force Assistance Brigade, based at Fort Carson, Colo., unrolled its unit colors Tuesday during a virtual ceremony, in a conference room with only a few people present as a coronavirus precautionary measure, an Army statement said.
The SFAB program was launched two years ago as part of the Army’s train, advise and assist mission. It replaced previous units that pulled soldiers from other brigades, which “reduced their effectiveness,†the statement said.
