Security Force
Assistance Command

The Security Force Assistance Command or SFAC was established at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 2018. It had Security Force Assistance Brigades under its command. The SFAC was a one-star command that provided for training and readiness oversight. With the aim to modernize the Department of Defense into a more 'lethal' force, the Trump administration gutted the U.S. Army's advisory capacity. The SFAC and its six SFABs were elimininated in 2025 and early 2026.
