U.S. Ambassador Susan M. Burns, Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, speaks with Maj. Michael Chadwick, executive officer, 1st Battalion, 101st Field Artillery Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, during the Justified Accord 2026 “Top Gun” competition at Laresoro, Kenya, March 10, 2026. The competition, hosted by Soldiers assigned to the 1st Battalion, 101st Field Artillery Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, tested participants’ proficiency in call-for-fire procedures, target identification, and joint fires integration. The visit highlighted U.S. diplomatic engagement and observed multinational training that strengthened interoperability and reinforced regional security partnerships during the exercise.
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.
