A Moroccan special forces operator finds intelligence during a sensitive site exploitation event during exercise Flintlock 26 in Côte d’Ivoire, April 22, 2026. Collecting and preserving intelligence at a target site enables multinational forces to convert evidence into actionable insights that identify key actors and disrupt network operations, supporting long-term regional stability. 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.
