DoD has had an African Command post for decades.

You sure? Regardless they completely revamped it or started to deploy serious numbers of troops last year.

No, never mind it was only authorized in December of 2006, announced in 2007, and activated in 2008.

We are both wrong, it's been open for 5 years. At least under that name. I know we have had other military command posts in the region, but likely under another name. Africom isnt even in Africa. It's in Germany.
It's first military operation has been the US involvment in Libya

Just like Centcom is in Florida and that's where our operations in the middle east are based from. Libya may be the first offensive operation but we already had programs going on with feet on the ground for nation building activities and the like.

Oh without question. It is no secret that we support the uprisings in the Africa and the Middle East. We are committed to providing economic support for these new democracies. This could actually end up being a very good investment since many of these nations have a wealth of natural resources.

It's crazy. I have heard sooo many doomsday theories that I cant even take them serious. Numerous months in 2011 have been declared "the end of the age," dates in 2012, and now this in 2013. Living in fear is hardly living at all.

It will definitely be interesting to see just how much crazy, fucked up shit does happen but I dont think there will be any mass deaths or anything like that. Who knows though

yeah i don't really think anything will happen either. maybe just an increase chance of natural disasters occuring. and apparently with solar flares it releases some sort of electromagnetic pulse that will short out the electronics around the globe.
it's all tinfoil material though.
