US, Tanzania senior military leaders visit Msata Military Training Base during JA26

U.S. and Tanzania People's Defence Force senior military leaders pose for a group photo at a medical readiness exercise site ahead of the closing ceremony for Justified Accord 2026 at Msata Military Training Base, Msata, Tanzania, March 11, 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 photo by 1st Lt.
