International Military Assistance Training Team (IMATT (SL))
The 115 strong International Military Assistance Training Team (IMATT (SL)) was established in 2002 following the end of war and disarmament of rebels by the UN in Sierra Leone.
Its mission is to help develop the Sierra Leone Armed forces into a democratically accountable, effective and sustainable force to fulfil security tasks required by the Government of Sierra Leone.
According to present plans, the size of IMATT(SL) will gradually decrease as the competence of the Sierra Leone Armed forces increases.
