U.S. Soldiers with the 1st Battalion, 181st Infantry Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, move in a tactical formation towards a marksmanship range during Justified Accord 2026 at the Kenya School of Infantry, Isiolo, Kenya, March 1, 2026. Training in the region’s austere terrain enhanced unit readiness and strengthened Soldiers’ ability to operate in unfamiliar and challenging environments not available at their home stations.
JA26 increases multinational interoperability in support of humanitarian assistance and crisis response, prepares regional partners for United Nations and African Union missions and builds readiness for the U.S. joint force. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), and hosted in Djibout, Kenya and Tanzania, this year's exercise incorporates personnel from approximately 15 nations. JA26 is U.S. Africa Command's largest exercise in East Africa. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Elijah Harris)
