Freetown, Sierra Leone — The United States and Sierra Leone have deepened their defense cooperation with the signing of an Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA) at a ceremony held at the Myohaung Officers Mess, Wilberforce Barracks.
The agreement will allow both nations to exchange essential resources including food, fuel, transportation, and logistics to support military operations.
Officials say the pact goes beyond military readiness, as it also lays the groundwork for stronger collaboration in humanitarian relief and emergency response.
Brigadier General George T.M. Dietrich III, Director of Logistics for U.S. Africa Command, signed on behalf of the United States, while Sierra Leone’s Deputy Minister of Defense, Colonel (Retired) Muana Brima Massaquoi, represented the host nation.
The signing is being hailed as a milestone in the growing partnership between the two countries, signaling a commitment to regional security and collective response to future challenges.
