U.S. Army Sgt. Casey Battles, a combat medic with 1st Battalion, 101st Field Artillery Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, teaches the tactical field care portion of tactical combat casualty care (TC3) to Kenya Defence Forces Medical Corps clinical officers during Justified Accord 2026 at Bearing Point 2, Laresoro, Kenya, March 4, 2026. The TC3 training strengthened lifesaving capabilities and readiness between the U.S. Army and KDF by reinforcing shared casualty care procedures, enabling both forces to respond more effectively to battlefield injuries and medical emergencies during 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.
