The U.S. has landed about 300 troops in Cameroon in order to help fight Boko Haram. Though the U.S. has helped against the Islamic group, this is the first time that they have used U.S. troops to fight directly against them. This decision was made after the group declared its absorption into the Islamic State. The U.S. sees this as a threat to its interests in West Africa and has plans to keep the troops there until "they are no longer needed". This shows a great initiative for combating the problematic group since allying with the Islamic State could potentially make it more deadly.
