For Immediate Release

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania – The U.S. military, in partnership with the Tanzanian People’s Defense Force and partner nations will conduct Eastern Accord 2016, a command post exercise (CPX) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, July 11-22, 2016.

EA16 is a U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM)-directed and U.S. Army Africa (USARAF)-led combined and joint exercise designed to exercise and assess the capacity and capability of participating staff and forces in peacekeeping operations. Approximately 200 military personnel from 8 participating nations will participate in the annual, combined, joint military exercise.

Eastern Accord brings together partner nations to practice and demonstrate proficiency in conducting peacekeeping operations. The exercise will include headquarters staff training and peacekeeping operations scenarios.

The exercise will consist of one week of classroom-based academics and one week of a command post exercise. The end goal of Eastern Accord 16 is to increase interoperability and build capacity between U.S. and African militaries, while cementing partnerships built from previous Eastern Accord exercises.

Once the exercise is complete, all exercise participants will return to their home countries and stations.

Paratroopers make history with U.S. Army’s first drone-on-drone kill
For 1st Lt. Francesco La Torre, the Army’s first drone-on-drone kill wasn’t the Hollywood moment most would imagine. “In A New Hope, Luke Skywalker flies an X-Wing through the Death Star trench and blows it up,” La Torre said. “This wasn’t like that. It was way harder. Honestly, it felt more like Darth Vader shooting down rebel pilots. He might be the villain, but he’s also one of the best pilots in the galaxy.”
