Infantrymen assigned to the 1st Battalion, 181st Infantry Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, and Kenya Defence Forces conduct a M249 squad automatic weapon (SAW) firing range during Justified Accord 2026, at the KDF School of Infantry, Isiolo, Kenya March 5, 2026. The range provided soldiers from both nations the opportunity to train on weapons familiarization and marksmanship fundamentals while strengthening readiness through shared weapons proficiency.
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 Djibouti, Kenya, and Tanzania, JA26 is U.S. Africa Command’s largest exercise in East Africa. (U.S. Army photo by Spc.
