According to a report from the Africa Intelligence website, American military contractor Amentum arrived in Libya under an agreement with outgoing Prime Minister Abdelhamid Dbeibeh to provide training to several armed groups in the capital city of Tripoli.

The report states that Amentum personnel will be training members of three specific armed brigades – the 444th Brigade led by Mahmoud Hamza, the 111th Brigade led by Zubi, and the 166th Brigade led by Al-Hisan, with the goal of unifying these various armed factions and tasking them with securing borders and disarmament operations.
