U.S. Army Sgt. Asa Walz, a forward observer assigned to the 1st Battalion, 101st Field Artillery Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, calls up a fire mission to the fire direction center during a Justified Accord 2026 combined arms live-fire exercise (CALFX) at Bearing Point 5, Laresoro, Kenya, March 8, 2026. U.S. Air Force joint terminal attack controllers coordinated air-to-ground integration alongside 1-101st FAR forward observers, synchronizing fires and maneuver throughout the CALFX. The training enhanced multinational interoperability and improved coordination between air and ground forces during complex combat operations.
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.
