The US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the team in Libya would help address logistical issues related to the training, including the vetting of recruits.
The training in Bulgaria is expected to be carried out in small groups over a period of years, potentially involving as many as 300 American trainers at any given time in Bulgaria, the US official said.

The team is expected to grow later as the program is developed, the official added.
The rest of the team of soldiers are expected to be in place in Tripoli by early April.
The training mission is expected to begin in July.

Last year, the US announced its plans to train 5,000 to 8,000 Libyan forces.
