The Security Force Assistance Command (SFAC) is a division-level command element for the United States Army's new security force assistance brigades (SFAB). These units' core mission is security force assistance to conduct training, advising, assisting, enabling and accompanying operations with allied and partner nations.[1]
Fifth SFAB received four Starshield systems on 1 October 2023, for use in Indo-Pacific Command (IndoPacom)'s Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC).[4] These systems are satellite-enabled, and provide communications services suitable for the distances required to cover the Pacific.[4]
