The 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade (2nd SFAB) was a security force assistance formation - a Security Force Assistance Brigade - of the United States Army. It was based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina,[1] under the Security Force Assistance Command. Security Force Assistance Brigades are the dedicated conventional organizations for conducting security force assistance around the world.
In March 2021 the brigade was announced to be aligned with United States Africa Command.[2] It focused on training counterparts in the Middle East and Africa. The brigade was disbanded on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 at Fort Bragg, NC.[3]
The 2nd SFAB was established on 29 November 2018, upon the return of the 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade from Afghanistan. It was scheduled to rotate in Afghanistan in Spring 2019,[4][5] with assistance of some elements of the 1st SFAB.[1]
The 2nd SFAB was planned to report to its first combat training centre rotation in January [2019] as the culmination of its ongoing training.[6]
Each SFAB would have a regional focus and its capabilities would enable it to perform with minimal cultural and regional orientation.[7]
Soldiers of the Brigade underwent training for a month at Fort Benning with the Military Advisor Training Academy, before receiving additional training in foreign languages, foreign weapons, cultural mediation, culture and other fields.[6]
