Security Force Assistance Brigade

A Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) (pronounced ESS-fab) is a specialized United States Army unit formed to conduct security force assistance (SFA) missions: to train, advise, assist, enable and accompany operations with allied and partner state armed forces. SFABs are intended to reduce the burden of such irregular operations on conventionally focused forces, allowing conventional manoeuvre divisions and brigades to focus on decisive, regular battle.
