Eric Zaino, right, a wheeled vehicle mechanic with 1st Battalion, 101st Field Artillery Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, check fluid levels on a KDF M1152 Humvee as part of daily preventative maintenance checks and services during Justified Accord 2026 at Bearing Point 2, Laresoro, Kenya, March 4, 2026. The bilateral maintenance training enhanced technical readiness and strengthened interoperability between U.S. and KDF forces by allowing mechanics from both nations to exchange knowledge, improve vehicle sustainment practices and build shared maintenance procedures in support of future joint operations.
JA26 increases multinational interoperability in support of humanitarian assistance and crisis response, prepares regional partners for missions with the United Nations and African Union, and builds readiness for the U.S. joint force. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) and hosted in Djibouti, Kenya, and Tanzania, JA26 is U.S. Africa Command’s largest exercise in East Africa.
