U.S. Army Capt. Lauren Peakcock, field service veterinarian, 64th Medical Detachment Veterinary Service Support, 30th Medical Brigade, shares her experience and the amount she learned from Kenya Defence Forces veterinarians, and local veterinarians while treating various livestock during Veterinarian Civil Activity Program, or VETCAP, at Archer’s Point, Kenya, March 11, 2026. A team of about 25 veterinarians provided dewormer, vaccines and medical care to about 1,900 goats, camels, donkeys, cows, sheep and dogs. The two-day program was one of several humanitarian support activities that were held as part of Justified Accord 2026.
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.
