EASBRICOM has three subordinate Structures, namely; the Planning Element (PLANELM) in Nairobi, the Standby Brigade Headquarters and the Logistics Base - both in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The Eastern Africa Region, as defined by the African Union Commission (AUC), is composed of 13 Member States and these are: Comoros, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. Tanzania, Madagascar and Mauritius are more active in the Southern region while Burundi, which has been under the Central region, has formally relocated to Eastern. The Architecture, with a wide-ranging mandate in the area of peace and security, includes the establishment of a multi-dimensional African Standby Force (ASF) that is to be ready for assignments by 2010. EASBRICOM is, accordingly, developing the Eastern Africa Standby Force, starting with a Brigade size, as part of the continental ASF.  The Region, in its strategic development plan, wishes to recruit additional competent personnel to enhance its capacity for conflict prevention. EASBRICOM has also signed cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the AUC for capacity building and cooperation.
