Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFABs) are specialized United States Army units whose core mission is to conduct training, advising, assisting, enabling and accompanying operations with allied and partner nations. These units are composed primarily of Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) and commissioned officers selected from regular Army units and trained at the Military Advisor Training Academy (MATA) at Fort Benning, Georgia. SFABs improve on the Army's ad-hoc solutions, which relied heavily on conventionally-organized Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) for the last 17 years. SFABs allow the Army to reduce, over time, the demand for conventional BCTs for combat Advising. This will allow BCTs to focus on readiness for fighting near-peer threats. SFABs are designed on the model of a standard infantry brigade combat team and are composed of roughly 800 personnel. The British military has emulated the SFAB model by creating Specialised Infantry Battalions (SIBs), albeit with less personnel and less capability, but in an attempt to achieve similar results.
