US Africa Command (USAFRICOM) is set to conduct the largest East African military exercise next month in Kenya.
The Justified Accord 23 exercise will be held in Isiolo from February 9–February 24, 2023, according to the US Embassy in Kenya.
More than 20 nations from three continents participate in the multinational exercise, which is organized by the US Army’s Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), in order to improve partner readiness for peacekeeping deployments, disaster response, and humanitarian aid.
The ability to include multidimensional entities, such as civilians, police, and soldiers, in training exercises that aim to create partner networks between combined forces, U.S. interagency, and foreign, as well as multinational organizations, is a crucial element.
The US Africa Command (USAFRICOM) exercise will involve 1000 service members from the US, Europe, and Africa.
The joint training exercise will feature a multinational command post exercise (CPX), a field training exercise (FTX), a live-fire exercise (LFX), and a maritime exercise.
Academic training on special operations and cyber capabilities will also be provided.

The exercise will also include several humanitarian and civic assistance projects.
SETAF-AF is responsible for coordinating all U.S. Army activities in Africa in support of U.S. Africa Command and U.S. Army Europe and Africa.
U.S. Army activities include military readiness exercises across the continent, hundreds of security force assistance engagements, crisis response, and enduring posture support.
These activities strengthen partner networks in Africa, build partner capacity against regional and global security threats, and provide strategic access for U.S. forces in contingency operations.
A similar exercise took place in March last year and involved over 800 participants from 20 militaries across the world and it involved both Command Post and Field Training exercises.
