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.
