US Air Force Joins The Fight in Central African Republic

C17s from the United States will be joining efforts to stabilize the Central African Republic.

On Monday, it was announced that the US Air Force will be ferrying African Union troops in to CAR.

The AU troops will be joining French and CAR forces who are trying to bring peace to the country.

France came to the aid of it's former colony and has now twice increased troop levels.

The African Union pledged troops, but does not have the capabilities to bring them in, themselves.

US planes will help things proceed much more swiftly, and their involvement comes after the UN authorized international military aid, in CAR.
