U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 173rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) prepare to fire an AT4 anti-tank weapon as a U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress aircraft and Moroccan Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons fly over a training area during the African Lion 26 capstone event at Cap Draa, Tan-Tan, Morocco, May 8, 2026. The live-fire demonstration showcased the unit’s ability to deliver precise indirect fires as part of a layered, echelon defense, integrating intelligence, fires and counter-unmanned aerial system capabilities to degrade an enemy advance and reinforce the warfighting proficiency and lethality the U.S. brings to multinational coalition operations.
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.
