Default Camp Simba, Manda Bay

Also remember that as Somalia was falling apart, Kenya opened the "base" at Manda Bay (known today by US servicemen as "THE ZOO" due to the wildlife that often cross the wire) in 1992. It wasn't called Camp Simba, but it was in existence. The US actually had "boots on the ground" there in 1993 during RESTORE HOPE. When Kenya agreed to help with Al Shabob; An informal presence by the US was established at what is now Camp Simba. It is operating under the guise of a humanitarian mission, and (supposedly) consists of engineers and PSYOPS/ADMIN specialists. These "specialists" have some very interesting skill sets though.
