This thesis seeks to identify the appropriate level of U.S. military engagement in West Africa. The analysis begins by laying out the four military engagement programs that were designed for improving peacekeeping capacities. The four U.S. programs are African Crisis Response Initiative, Africa Contingency Operations Training Assistance, Operation Focus Relief, and International Military Education and Training. The paper follows with a discussion of the ECOMOG peacekeeping operations in West Africa (Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea-Bissau). Recommendations are provided based on the assessment of the change in ECOMOG's performance between its first deployment to Liberia and subsequent deployments with U.S. trained soldier's participation.
