Forward observers assigned to the 1st Battalion, 101st Field Artillery Regiment, Massachusetts Army National Guard, and Kenya Defence Forces, plot coordinates and observe target areas during Justified Accord 2026 at Bearing Point 5, Laresoro, Kenya, March 5, 2026. The training improved target acquisition and refined fire support coordination between forward observers and indirect fire assets alongside U.S. joint terminal attack controllers, enhanced multinational communication, targeting procedures, and overall interoperability during combined operations.
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. (U.S Army Video by Pfc.
