The Rapid Response Force Marine Corps U.S. is already operational . With little time to install , less than a month after landing at the base of Moron de la Frontera (Sevilla ) , the Pentagon has dispatched this week to 200 of its 500 military Sigonella ( Sicily). The trigger for this sudden shift has been the car bomb that exploded on Monday in Benghazi. Washington does not want to risk repeating the nightmare of September 11 , when a crowd infiltrated by jihadist elements attacked the U.S. consulate in Libyan city lynching that its ambassador , Christopher Stevens.
The Pentagon has three bases in Africa : Djibouti , Niger ( unmanned aircraft ) and Morón. Geographically, the Seville base is not in Africa , but strategically yes . This view from Washington, is a springboard to jump to any point in the Maghreb and the Sahel , two of the most unstable regions of the world and battle against Al Qaeda. So is its chief Gen. David Rodriguez , head of U.S. Africom , the U.S. Command for Africa , which is based either on the continent , but in Stuttgart (Germany ) .

The Cabinet authorized the April 19 deployment Morón 500 marines ( half combat personnel and other support) , and six V -22 Osprey ( that can fly either as fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters ) and two KC -130 refueling aircraft , expanding their range. The unit is ready to leave at six hours of receiving the order and move in three at almost 1,500 miles away.
Its mission is to provide protection to " citizens , facilities and staff appointed U.S. " for possible crises in Africa, according to the letter that the Pentagon official , Chuck Hagel , conducted April 9 to his counterpart Pedro Morenés .
Madrid did not think much to give plácet : consultations after a U.S. ambassador , Alan Solomont , the petition was submitted to the Standing Committee Hispano- American mid-March . " Exceptionally well reasoned and detailed the request ( ... ) , Spain may authorize temporary increases above the agreed force for each base, as well as changes in the nature of these " Article 18.5 of the Convention of Defense was applied. The agreement sets a ceiling of 500 soldiers in Morón , hitherto not covered , and allows the temporary deployment in Spain up to 900 Marines.
An attack on Benghazi mobilizes reaction force U.S.
The Government argues that no need to ask permission to Congress (as did the installation in Rota naval component of the missile shield ) because authorization is temporary. Its maximum duration is one year and the U.S. has suggested seeking permanent location on African soil. It is not easy to find her and Spain wants the marines to stay in Morón. "I wish ! " Support diplomatic sources . So far their deployment is operating , ie , the military has come without their families , so that investments are almost nil and the benefits to the environment very few .
The chairman of the company's base, José Armando Rodríguez , is not even sure that the layoffs will slow bleeding . VBR U.S. firm , responsible for maintenance services , dispensed in 2010 of 119 of its 594 workers , appealing to " organizational reasons " and has leaked a new record, to run in 2014 , affecting another 144 .
The Italian government has already informed its Parliament , the Spanish , not
Government sources say that "the interests of both countries in Africa coincide," so the presence of the Marines in Morón to strengthen Spain . But it can also lead to problems . A Pentagon spokesman told the BBC that the Marines may operate in any African country " without the permission of the local government."
Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emma Bonino, has already appeared before the Parliament to report the arrival of the marines to Sigonella . In Spain , the explanations have been delegated to a secretary of state , Gonzalo de Benito . And do not even know when it will come to Congress.
