An Ivorian special forces soldier places a military helmet on a student at the first-ever Ivorian public service career day during exercise Flintlock 26 at Lycée Scientifique de Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, April 24, 2026. The event brought together members of the Ivorian security sector, including military, law enforcement, and emergency services, to introduce students to career opportunities in public service. 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.
