The Pentagon announced that the withdrawal of US forces from Chad is a temporary measure, as part of a comprehensive review of security cooperation between the United States and Chad.
The Pentagon spokesman explained in statements to reporters that last May, a small team of American military personnel was transferred out of Chad, and he indicated that some members of this team were already preparing to leave, stressing that the team continues to carry out its tasks from multiple locations outside the country.
The spokesman added that this withdrawal represents part of the ongoing evaluation of security cooperation relations with Chad, stressing the readiness of the United States to resume joint work with the Chadian government.
The United States had begun withdrawing the vast majority of its forces, which included about 100 soldiers, in response to the request of the Chadian authorities.
