Nigerian Navy Special Boat Service operators pull security in tall vegetation while executing a maritime insertion ground raid during exercise Flintlock 26 in Côte d’Ivoire, April 29, 2026. Integrating multidomain capabilities served as a cornerstone of Flintlock 26, leveraging ground, maritime and air capabilities during planning and tactical operations to improve collective readiness. 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.
