ECOMOG

ECOMOG is a West African multilateral armed force established by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The name is an abbreviation of the ECOWAS Monitoring Group. ECOMOG is not a standing army, but a formal arrangement for separate armies to work together, along similar lines to NATO. Its backbone is Nigerian armed forces and financial resources, with sub-battalion strength units contributed by other ECOWAS members - Ghana, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Gambia.
