EL FAID, Morocco - A group of U.S service members and Royal Moroccan Armed Forces perform care on a newborn baby after an emergency cesarean section during an African Lion 26 humanitarian civic assistance mission at El Faid, Morocco, April 30, 2026. The humanitarian civic assistance mission reflected the enduring Department of War National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program relationship between the U.S. and Morocco, with Utah National Guard and Moroccan military medical teams providing medical, surgical, dental and diagnostic services. The partnership reinforces the commitment to regional stability built through cooperation. African Lion 26 is U.S. Africa Command's largest annual joint exercise, designed to strengthen collective security capabilities of the U.S., African nations and global allies. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa, or SETAF-AF, from April 20 to May 8, 2026, and hosted in Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia, African Lion involves over 5,600 civilian and military personnel from more than 40 nations, using innovation to drive partner-led regional security.
