By order of the President of the United States, the U.S. Department of Defense established Joint Force Command–United Assistance as part of a unified-action approach to combat the growing Ebola threat in West Africa. Formed with a core of Soldiers assigned to U.S. Army Africa, the Army Service Component Command for U.S. Africa Command at the time, Joint Force Command–United Assistance reached a combined strength of 686 personnel before transferring responsibility to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Oct. 25, 2014. In November 2020, U.S. Army Africa consolidated with U.S. Army Europe and Africa and was re-designated U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF). This video showcases the joint task force capabilities of SETAF-AF and is part of a series of products to commemorate the command's 70th birthday. (U.S. Army video by Brian Andries)
