U.S. Soldiers assigned to both the 946th Forward Resuscitative Surgical Detachment, 810 Hospital Center, 5th Medical Brigade, 3rd Theater Medical Command, and the 173rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), receive instructions on the Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distribution Observation Kit-Joint application during African Lion 26 at Cap Draa, Tan-Tan, Morocco, April 29, 2026. The exercise gave service members an opportunity to test artificial intelligence-powered and autonomous platforms, remote systems, and emerging technologies across attack, defense and mission command operations. The experimentation accelerated target detection, shortened decision timelines and delivered cost-effective warfighting solutions aligned with African partner priorities.
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 personnel from more than 40 nations, using innovation to drive partner-led regional security.
