Im Jahr 2014 wurden vier V-22 Ospreys mit zusätzlichen Tankflugzeugen für die Operation entsendet. Auch etwa 150 Soldaten des Air Force Special Operations Command waren nun teil der Operation. Die zusätzlichen Kräfte sollen die Verlagerungen von Truppen, welche der Regional Task Force unterstellt sind, helfen. Ab 2017 zeichnet sich ein Ende des Einsatzes ab, weil die LRA deutlich an Gebieten und auch an Kämpfern verloren hat. So soll die Anzahl der Kämpfer unter 100 gesunken sein. (de)

In 2017, with around $780 million spent on the operation, and Kony still in the field, the United States wound down Observant Compass and shifted its forces elsewhere. But the operation didn't completely disband, according to the Defense Department: “U.S. military forces supporting Operation Observant Compass transitioned to broader scope security and stability activities that continue the success of our African partners."

- A Operação Observant Compass foi uma operação do Departamento de Defesa dos Estados Unidos inicialmente focada na captura de Joseph Kony e contenção do Exército de Resistência do Senhor na África Central. Foi supervisionada pelo Comando dos Estados Unidos para a África. A NBC News escreveu em março de 2017 que "a área de operações é do tamanho da Califórnia, com cerca de 80 militares e várias dezenas do pessoal de apoio encarregado de encontrar cerca de 150 combatentes com o Exército de Resistência do Senhor de Kony, operando em partes de quatro países em alguns dos terrenos mais inacessíveis do mundo." Em 2017, com cerca de US$ 780 milhões gastos na operação e Kony ainda em campo, os Estados Unidos encerraram a Observant Compass e transferiram suas forças para outros lugares. Mas a operação não foi completamente dissolvida, de acordo com o Departamento de Defesa: “as forças militares estadunidenses que apoiam a Operação Observant Compass transitaram para atividades de segurança e estabilidade de escopo mais amplo que continuam o sucesso de nossos parceiros africanos."
