The military mission is limited to providing security and assistance to the U.S. Liaison Office and contract administration assistance to U.N. forces. The United States plans to withdraw almost all military personnel, but a firm date for withdrawal has yet to be set. The United States has sold more than $44 million worth of equipment to the U.N. and leased other items for almost $4 million for use by military contingents attached to the U.N. force. Before the sale and lease of these items, the Army studied the impact of these transactions and concluded that they would not harm unit readiness. The U.N. forces in Somalia have replaced the logistics capability lost when the United States withdrew. Officials from the U.N., State Department, and the Pentagon are confident that the U.N. forces should be able to carry out their mandate at current troop levels, although Pentagon officials caution that an escalation in inter-clan fighting could undermine the success of the mission being performed by the U.N. forces in Somalia. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-175/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-175.htm GAO/NSIAD-94-175 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-175 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-94-175; Peace Operations: Withdrawal of U.S. Troops From Somalia; Military operations Logistics International cooperation Military materiel Armed forces abroad Military withdrawal Foreign military sales Combat readiness Spare parts Military personnel Somalia Mogadishu (Somalia) M113A2 Armored Personnel Carrier M60A3 Tank AH-1S Helicopter OH-58C Helicopter Egypt Pakistan India
