Abstract

The Department of Transportation’s role in Africa is limited to the involvement of the Coast Guard and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Office of International Transportation Programs currently has no dealings with African nations, although it has had some in the past. The Coast Guard maintains a small station in Liberia which consists of one officer and a team of enlisted men. Three Africans, two from Zaire and one from Liberia, attended the Coast Guard’s Officer Candidate School four-month program in 1976.
