A Royal Moroccan Armed Forces AƩrospatiale SA 330 Puma helicopter flies over a joint attack controller training site during African Lion 26 at Cap Draa, Tan-Tan, Morocco, April 23, 2026. The multinational JTAC training enhanced interoperability and demonstrated the ability to project combat-credible airpower alongside allied and partner forces through the exchange of tactics, techniques and procedures.
AL26 is U.S. Africa Command's largest annual joint exercise, designed to strengthen collective security capabilities of the U.S., African nations and global allies. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) from April 20 to May 8, 2026, and hosted in Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia, AL26 involves over 5,600 civilian and military personnel from more than 40 nations, using innovation to drive partner-led regional security.
