U.S. Africa Command’s Deputy Commander, Army Lt. Gen. John W. Brennan, and Deputy to the Commander for Civil-Military Engagement Ambassador Robert Scott traveled to Windhoek, July 21-22, to build upon the partnership between the United States and Namibia.

The visit underscores AFRICOM’s commitment to addressing shared security interests and working alongside partners to enhance stability in the region. 

Lt. Gen. Brennan and Ambassador Scott engaged with Namibia’s Minister of Defense and Veteran Affairs Frans Kapofi. The leaders discussed regional security concerns, joint training opportunities, maritime domain awareness, and efforts to counter wildlife and timber trafficking.

“Namibia plays an important role as an anchor for fostering stability in southern Africa,” said Brennan. “I appreciate Minister Kapofi’s willingness to meet this week. Our two nations’ ongoing collaboration reflects a shared commitment to addressing complex challenges in the region and advancing areas of mutual interests. We look forward to working with Namibia to develop new avenues of cooperation in the future.”

“U.S. Africa Command is dedicated to forging strong partnerships with African nations like Namibia who are directly contributing to security, stability, and prosperity in the region,” said Scott. “From participating in maritime security events to collaborating on vital projects like building field hospitals and countering wildlife trafficking and other transnational threats, we are finding common ground with Namibia.” 

AFRICOM and Namibia have traditionally partnered in areas such as enhancing the country’s health infrastructure, stemming wildlife trafficking, and expanding trade and development opportunities. Additionally in 2025, Namibia observed AFRICOM’s maritime security exercise Obangame Express and participated in the African Maritime Forces Summit. Both events bring militaries together to enhance joint readiness and foster opportunities for African nations to collectively safeguard their coastlines. 

AFRICOM is one of seven U.S. geographic combatant commands, responsible for military engagement across 53 African nations. Working with partners and allies, the command counters malign actors and transnational threats, responds to crises, strengthens African security forces, and supports U.S. government efforts in Africa to advance U.S. national interests and promote regional security, stability, and prosperity.
