Kenya Defence Forces rangers and U.S. Army infantrymen assigned to 1st Battalion, 181st Infantry Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, participate in a joint class on improvised explosive devices during Justified Accord 2026 at the Humanitarian Peace Support School, Nairobi, Kenya, March 9, 2026. The discussion highlighted real-world threats and reinforced the importance of identifying and responding to explosive hazards in operational environments. Improvised explosive devices remain a significant cause of casualties for the Kenya Defence Forces, and training with partner forces helps improve detection, response procedures, and mitigation techniques to reduce risks associated with fighting unconventional enemy forces.
JA26 increases multinational interoperability in support of humanitarian assistance and crisis response, prepares regional partners for United Nations and African Union missions, and builds readiness for the U.S. joint force. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), and hosted in Djibouti, Kenya, and Tanzania, JA26 is U.S. Africa Command’s largest exercise in East Africa.
