The West African Air Forces consist of military aviation units from various countries in the West African region. These forces are responsible for air defense, surveillance, and support for ground operations. Countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal have established air forces that play crucial roles in regional security and peacekeeping missions. Collaboration among these air forces is often facilitated through organizations like the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Joint exercises and training programs enhance their operational capabilities and foster cooperation in addressing common security challenges, such as terrorism and drug trafficking in the region.
