A Moroccan special forces operator apprehends an enemy while conducting a simulated raid during exercise Flintlock 26 in Côte d’Ivoire, April 22, 2026. These scenarios sharpened apprehension techniques, allowing forces to secure enemy personnel and maintain control during real-world operations. Since 2005, Flintlock has served as U.S. Africa Command’s premier annual special operations exercise. This year’s exercise brought together more than 30 countries across Côte d’Ivoire and Libya to build lethality and readiness, strengthen counterterrorism skills and increase collaboration across borders.
