During the 2020 attack by suspected Al Shabaab militants, the US military stated that it lost property valued over Ksh8 billion. "The attack wounded three additional US personnel and one Kenyan soldier and destroyed US government resources worth Ksh8 billion (USD71.5 million)," stated Gen Austin. To this effect, the review committee recommended changes in training for the military personnel. One of the recommendations was the review in the structure of intelligence sharing between the military officials from both the US government and their host countries. Specifically, the significant focus should be directed towards implementing collective training tailored to the environment where personnel would deploy.
