On 28 September the U.S. Senate confirmed General William E. “Kip” Ward as AFRICOM’s first commander and AFRICOM officially became operational.

AFRICOM participates in a wide variety of tasks: maritime law enforcement, foreign military sales, international military and education training, pandemic response program, partnerships for integrated logistics operations and tactics, national guard state partnership program, and contingency operations training and assistance.
