Senior Tanzanian general visits U.S. Army AfricaBy Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa VICENZA, Italy – Leaders from U.S. Army Africa welcomed Maj. Gen. Wynjones Matthew Kisamba to the command headquarters at Caserma Ederle on Jan.27. Kisamba, who is the land forces commander for the Tanzania People’s Defense Force, is the first senior African military officer to visit the headquarters since U.S. Army Africa became the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command. “It is an honor and a privilege for me to visit this place,” Kisamba said. Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III, commander of U.S. Army Africa met Kisamba beside the Fallen Warrior Memorial near Hoekstra Field. Having met on several occasions during 2009, their informal conversations spoke of a growing friendship between the two leaders. “This visit offers us an outstanding opportunity to build upon our previous interactions,” Garrett said. “Tanzania plays a key role in regional efforts for stability and peace. U.S. Army Africa’s goal is to build a cooperative relationship and enduring partnership that contributes to Tanzania’s land force capabilities.” Read full story | Download photos VIDEO NEWS UPDATE |
