WASHINGTON — The United States plans to establish and train a Libyan
special operations force command.
Officials said the U.S. military has been assigned to help Libya
organize an elite force that could conduct such missions as
counter-insurgency and border security. They said the SOF command could
reach 8,000 troops.

“Suffice to say that there is going to be a kind of conventional effort, to train their conventional forces, between five and 7,000 conventional forces,” U.S. Special Operations Command chief Adm. William McRaven said. “And we have a complementary effort on the special operations side to train a certain number of their forces to do counter-terrorism.”
In an address on Nov. 16, McRaven said the U.S. program would search for suitable Libyan candidates. He said every applicant would be examined for
links to Al Qaida or other insurgency groups.
But the SOF chief acknowledged that the U.S. military would be hampered in any vetting effort. McRaven pointed to the prospect that former militia members would be recruited in Libyan special operations.
“Right now as we go forward to try and find a good way to build up the
Libyan security forces so they are not run by militias, we are going to have
to assume some risks,” McRaven told the Reagan National Defense Forum.
“There is probably some risk that some of the people we will be training
with do not have the most clean records. But at the end of the day it is
the best solution we can find to train them to deal with their own
problems.”
Under the plan, U.S. training of the Libyans would take place in
Bulgaria. Officials said the program, headed by the U.S. military’s
Africa Command, could take up to eight years.
“We’re in discussions with the Libyans on the exact number, but we’re
prepared to provide training for 5,000 to 8,000 personnel,” Defense
Department spokesman Steve Warren said on Nov. 18. “This hasn’t been
finalized yet, but that’s the plan we’re working towards.”
