Le commandement am\u00e9ricain charg\u00e9 des op\u00e9rations terrestres en Afrique, la U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), a connu en juillet 2024 une s\u00e9rie de passations de commandement \u00e0 Vicence, en Italie. Ces c\u00e9r\u00e9monies, qui peuvent sembler protocolaires, rev\u00eatent en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 une importance strat\u00e9gique dans l\u2019architecture militaire am\u00e9ricaine sur le continent africain.<\/p>\n
Au sein du quartier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de la SETAF-AF, le lieutenant-colonel Christopher J. Christiana a officiellement pris le commandement du Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion lors d\u2019une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie organis\u00e9e sur la base de Caserma Ederle. Quelques jours plus tard, le major-g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Andrew C. Gainey a succ\u00e9d\u00e9 au major-g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Todd R. Wasmund \u00e0 la t\u00eate de l\u2019ensemble du commandement.<\/p>\n
Bas\u00e9e en Italie mais tourn\u00e9e vers l\u2019Afrique, la SETAF-AF constitue l\u2019un des principaux instruments de la pr\u00e9sence militaire am\u00e9ricaine sur le continent. Sa mission consiste \u00e0 renforcer les partenariats avec les arm\u00e9es africaines, soutenir les exercices multinationaux, d\u00e9velopper les capacit\u00e9s de r\u00e9ponse aux crises et appuyer les objectifs du Commandement des \u00c9tats-Unis pour l\u2019Afrique (AFRICOM).<\/p>\n
Dans un contexte marqu\u00e9 par la reconfiguration des partenariats s\u00e9curitaires en Afrique, la mont\u00e9e de nouvelles puissances concurrentes et l\u2019\u00e9volution des menaces transnationales, ces changements de commandement traduisent surtout la volont\u00e9 de Washington d\u2019assurer la continuit\u00e9 de son engagement militaire et diplomatique sur le continent. Plus qu\u2019un simple passage de t\u00e9moin, ils illustrent la permanence de la strat\u00e9gie am\u00e9ricaine visant \u00e0 maintenir son influence s\u00e9curitaire en Afrique \u00e0 travers un r\u00e9seau de coop\u00e9rations militaires et de partenariats r\u00e9gionaux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
