Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove all United States Armed Forces, other than United States Armed Forces assigned to protect the United States Embassy, from Somalia.
Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 30 directs the President to withdraw nearly all United States military personnel from Somalia within 365 days of the resolution's passage. The only troops permitted to remain under this mandate would be those specifically assigned to protect the United States Embassy.
For citizens, this measure represents a legislative effort to end U.S. military involvement in Somalia’s ongoing internal conflicts and shift the responsibility for regional security to local forces. While the resolution was introduced to reduce the overseas deployment of American service members, it failed to pass the House of Representatives in April 2023, meaning current military operations in the region remain unchanged.
