SFABs Deploy Globally
1st Security Force Assistance Brigade partnerships have spanned seven foreign security force partners within the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility in Latin America. 1st SFAB teams remain persistently employed in Columbia, Honduras, and Panama with the primary goals of training, advising, assisting, and building interoperability with our partners from competition to crisis to conflict. Advisors travel episodically to four other countries in Latin America, including Guyana and Paraguay, to further our security force assistance mission in the region.
The unit will continue to employ force packages in six-to-eight month intervals in support of partners in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. The unit will continue its partnerships with Columbia, Honduras, and Panama, focusing on the institutional domain, integration of operations, intelligence, and sustainment, and building staff processes. The organization will expand episodically to several more central and south american countries in the coming year. This expansion will increase advisor presence, build interoperability and partner capacity, and maintain the U.S. as the partner of choice.

The 5th SFAB is regionally aligned with USINDOPACOM and allocated to the U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC). The 5th SFAB employs advisors forward in six-month intervals from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington in force packages consisting of approximately 20 teams.
These teams enable 5th SFAB to maintain a persistent presence in the Indo-Pacific region while achieving sustainable readiness. This persistent presence plays a critical role in USARPAC's ability to implement integrated deterrence which can be defined as the sum of capabilities, posture, messaging, and will.
Through integrated deterrence, 5th SFAB supports the theater army's ability to bolster our ally and partner's respective defenses to promote restraint and respect among neighbors.
In 2023, the 5th SFAB employed Advisors into eight countries in support of 44 operations, activities and investments. 5th SFAB participated in combined interoperability training with numerous strategic allies and partners in the region to include; Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Mongolia, Indonesia, and subject matter exchanges with several other Indo-Pacific countries upon request.

Train deploying FORSCOM units and key leaders across the United States to advise and assist foreign security forces to meet Geographic Combatant Commander security cooperation and security force assistance requirements.
The Tiger Battalion is FORSCOM’s premier training organization for the security cooperation and security force assistance mission. Assigned to the Security Force Assistance Command (SFAC), 3-353rd REGT is located on North Fort Polk, Louisiana. Our 275 personnel include leaders, cadre, and linguists from 35 different branches and MOS. We train units and individuals from across all three US Army components (Active, ARNG, and USAR), as well as joint personnel preparing to deploy as advisors. We conduct training across the United States, and execute outreach across the globe.
The Tiger Battalion offers unparalleled opportunities for officers and NCOs of all ranks. Many Tiger alumni report service in the Tiger Battalion as one of the most rewarding experiences of their careers. The predictable schedule affords ample time to pursue education, recreation, and family goals. Personnel preparing to pursue key developmental jobs find the experience great preparation for professional success, and those finishing key developmental jobs find the battalion a great place to reset and prepare for their next Army challenge.
Professionally, our mission and connection to the security cooperation and security force assistance community of interest affords our leaders with a rare chance to understand and contribute directly to our Army's strategic roles in competition and conflict. Our personnel frequently solve problems well beyond the scope of most Army battalions, and interact frequently with senior personnel. Moreover, serving in the Tiger Battalion allows ambitious leaders an opportunity to become subject matter experts in the realms of training, interpersonal skills, and SC/SFA doctrine; all while interacting in a combined arms environment with training audiences possessing a vast array of experiences. Our personnel experience excellent rates of promotion to the next grade, and enjoy ample opportunities to pursue professional schooling. Our location on Fort Polk affords many advantages for those interested in pursuing follow-on assignments as an Observer-Controller-Trainer at JRTC; or operational duties in 3/10 Mountain, 1-509 Infantry (Geronimo), 1/5 Aviation, 46 Engineers, 519 Military Police, or within the Garrison. Our relationship with the SFAC has also afforded many of our leaders with a chance to serve in one of the Army's Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFAB); the premier professional development opportunity for those who want to continue leading Soldiers.
