Cheney said the United States was prepared to deploy off the Somali coast an amphibious readiness group of about 1.500 marines backed by helicopter gunships.
It could come to the aid of UN peacekeepers if they run into problems after US forces pull out he said.
Wc are prepared to leave behind a residue of specialists and some combat capability off the coast should that be warranted in order to support a sustained UN effort to maintain peace and security "
Specialists would Include logistics and combat support units many other nations did not possess. Cheney said.

The State Department official. who spoke to Rueters on condition he not be Identified, said getting US troops out of Somalia was likely to become a big problem for Clinton.
Asking about the shooting incident. Cheney dismissed calls for the French legionaries
to be held responsible for Thursday's Incident.
"Certainly these situations are always regrettable but any suggestion that the troops In any way have conducted them selves tn an Irresponsible manner or used excessive force would be inaccurate," he said, ”1 simply don't share that
"If.. a couple of Somalis charged through a road bloc and refused to stop then certainly I would think that our people would Justify It In defending themselves against what they thought was perhaps a potentially hostik- act."
He said weapons were in the hands of Irresponsible people who had interfered with relief supplies or were high on drugs. "It Is a potentially dangerous situation in our people... will take what ever measures to defend themselves."
