A U.S. Soldier assigned to the 91st Civil Affairs Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), poses for a photo with children and village leaders at a primary school in Ouffoué-Diékro, Côte d’Ivoire, April 24, 2026, during exercise Flintlock 26. The engagement aimed to strengthen connections between security forces and local population by encouraging positive, face-to-face interaction with village leadership and youth. 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.
