U.S. Air Force Maj. Alex Mayers, orthopedic surgeon assigned to Mike O’Callaghan Military Medical Center, Nellis Air Force Base and Staff Sgt. Jazmin Smith, orthopedic technician assigned to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Hospital, works with Tanzanian medical professionals to operate on Tanzanian patients as part of a medical readiness exercise during Justified Accord 26, Lugalo Military Hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, March 9, 2026. This first-ever MEDREX in Tanzania prepared U.S. military health professionals for the challenges of providing care outside traditional clinical settings. Working alongside African partners, U.S. medical professionals refined their ability to deliver rapid, adaptable and resource-efficient medical care, directly increasing medical readiness for large-scale combat 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.
