The United States military has deployed a group of navy ships off the coast of Somalia to support the withdrawal of some 700 personnel from the country, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
The amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island and accompanying ships arrived off the Horn of Africa on Monday, 16 days after President Donald Trump ordered the pullout of troops who had been in Somalia for years conducting operations against the al-Shabab armed group.
The naval group is to help relocate the US military and civilian personnel from Somalia “to other East Africa operating locations while maintaining pressure on violent extremists and supporting partner forces”, the US Africa Command said in a statement.

Senior defense leaders this week made themselves public examples by posting their COVID-19 vaccine experiences. The leadership hoped to encourage others to join the fight.
Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said at the beginning of December that certain senior defense leadership had already agreed, before the vaccine was officially approved by all required entities, to receive the vaccine publicly in order to communicate to the force that the vaccine is safe and necessary.
And, as promised, as soon as the vaccine was approved, the DoD had needles in arms.
I got the COVID-19 vaccination yesterday with @SecArmy@VCSA37 and @16thSMA and encourage everyone to join us in the fight. pic.twitter.com/42ya9UApfE GEN James C. McConville (@ArmyChiefStaff) December 22, 2020
