U.S. Soldiers assigned to the Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, and 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), conduct live-fire training with stinger missiles during African Lion 26 at Cap Draa, Tan-Tan Morocco, May 1, 2026. The training advanced the unit’s ability to provide low-altitude air defense, disseminate early warning, and engage aerial threats with stinger missiles, while integrating experimental tactics for unmanned aerial system defense alongside U.S. and multinational partners to advance collective air defense readiness and regional security.
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.
