Central African Multinational Force (English)

The FOMACis a brigade-size peacekeeping force established by the ECCAS(Economic Community of Central African States) in October 2003, in order to intervene in unstable Central African areas, and it is the subregional component of a much large-scale military umbrella organization called African Stand-By Force. The FOMAC will soon to transform into International Support Mission in the Central African Republic (MISCA) under African Union control with a UN mandate, pending UN resolution, which is expected in December. MISCA will take over on December 19.

The flag itself seems to be green, and its logo based on ECCAS, but some extra inscription, and/or elements are added to it.
