According to the United States Army, Security Force Assistance Brigades are the dedicated conventional organisations for conducting security force assistance around the world. Each SFAB would have a regional focus and its capabilities would enable it to perform with minimal cultural and regional orientation.[3]
The 4th SFAB is scheduled to conduct the next rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center in Fort Polk, Louisiana in June 2020. It will replace the 3rd SFAB and continue the mission in Afghanistan, with about 800 Soldiers.
Composition
Each Security Force Assistance Brigade consists of about 800 senior and noncommissioned officers.[4]
