A Kenya Defence Forces soldier searches for notional Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) during Justified Accord 2024 (JA24) counter-IED training at the Counter Insurgency Terrorism and Stability Operations Training Centre in Nanyuki, Laikipia County. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF), and hosted in Kenya, this year’s exercise will incorporate personnel and units from 23 nations. This multinational exercise builds readiness for the U.S. joint force, prepares regional partners for UN and AU mandated missions, and increases multinational interoperability in support of humanitarian assistance, disaster response and crisis response.
