The Danab is a light infantry brigade which is able to conduct clearance operations with a respect for human rights and in accordance with the law of armed conflict, conduct joint operations with partner forces including other SNA units, and local Somali defense forces. This project, funded by the U.S. government (USG) through the Department of State (DOS), will continue to build on earlier U.S. funded activities in order to enable Somali and select AUSSOM partners to execute tasks effectively and continue to work towards the stabilization and security of southern and central Somalia.
