Provide Deterrence and Stability
Stability in the CENTCOM area of responsibility demands a credible, capable, and dynamic defense posture to compete, deter, and win against state and non-state actors. AFCENT will leverage multi-domain capabilities to out-match those seeking to challenge the U.S. and coalition interests in the region. We are resolved to deter aggression, maintain security, defend our networks, and ensure access to common domains across our area of responsibility.
