In May, the Pentagon released a summary of the study report, which closed the line of mistakes by the US military, poorly prepared and sent in this mission without being sufficiently high.

Reprimand leaves

According to the Times On Saturday, the sanctioned army includes two members of the attacked unit: Captain Mike Perozeni and the second. Reprimands were given to accuse them of the lack of simulated training and combat simulations with Nigerian soldiers.

The Pentagon did not immediately confirm this information, but the spokesman announced that the ministry had asked its services to submit the "A comprehensive review of training procedures, policies and programs".

Minister of Defense James Mattis "He has received these mandated reports within 120 days and is currently examining their investigations closely""spokeswoman Candice Tresch added.

Goal not found

The original purpose of the operation is to capture the leader of the jihadist group "Islamic State in Great Sahara" (EIGS), Doundoun Cheffou, was suspected of participating in the kidnapping of US humanitarian Jeffery Woodke.
