The 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade is the first Army National Guard brigade-level unit from Wisconsin to deploy to Africa.

The MEB allows CJTF-HOA to accomplish its missions of ensuring strategic partnerships with Djibouti and other partner nations, responding to crises, and enhancing stability and peace in the region by acting as a headquarters support unit to coordinate and facilitate mission accomplishment.
The Wisconsin National Guard's 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB) recently assumed responsibility of the CJTF-HOA headquarters staff mission from the Illinois National Guard's 404th MEB.

Thank you 404th for all of your hard work in support of our African partners!
