The Council of Ministers has authorized the deployment of up to 500 Marines and eight transport aircraft of the United States at the base of Moron de la Frontera (Sevilla) for one year. The mission of this contingent will strengthen the protection of embassies and installations in the U.S. and facilitate the eventual evacuation of its citizens in North Africa and the Sahel, faced with growing instability in the region. The Pentagon's goal is to have a quick reaction force, under U.S. Command for Africa (AFRICOM), capable of being deployed anywhere in the area in a crisis like the one that led the assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi (Libya ), in September 2012, which resulted in several deaths, including the ambassador. That crisis caught Washington off guard and had to resort to a small special operations unit featured in Rota (Cádiz).
The request was formulated through a letter, on April 9, the new Secretary of State for Defence, Chuck Hagel, his Spanish counterpart, Pedro Morenés. It so happens Morenés Hagel and not even know personally. This did not prevent, however, that the second application transacted very quickly since, according to defense sources, the deployment of the Marines does not exceed the limit set by the treaty troops bilateral or base of Moron in the set of Spain. They stressed the same sources, the missions for which authorized the deployment of the contingent - including support staff and communications, in addition to Marines - have a humanitarian nature. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Gonzalo de Benito, appear in Congress to report the agreement.
Although the U.S. is reducing troops in Europe to focus on the Pacific Basin, Spain appears as the exception: strengthening the base of Moron, so far with a symbolic presence of American troops, comes after the installation authorized in Rota (Cádiz) of the four destroyers naval component of the missile shield, with 1,100 troops.
