B-Roll: Kenya Defense Forces conduct Canine Tactical Combat Casualty Care evaluation drill at JA25

Two Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Soldiers conduct a simulated Canine Tactical Combat Casualty Care evaluation drill as part of exercise Justified Accord 2025 (JA25) at the Humanitarian Peace Support School (HPSS) in Nairobi, Kenya, Feb. 14, 2025. During the scenario-based assessment, the soldiers respond under notional enemy fire to provide life-saving care to a downed military working dog training dummy. They assess the K9’s condition, control bleeding, and move to safety while applying further stabilizing measures. The exercise reinforces KDF handlers’ ability to provide emergency medical care in combat environments while under stress.

JA25 is the premier U.S. Africa Command exercise in East Africa, designed to enhance multinational combat readiness, strengthen crisis response capabilities and empower allies and partners in the region. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) and hosted by Kenya, Djibouti and Tanzania, JA25 integrates high-intensity training scenarios that sharpen warfighting skills, increase operational reach and enhance the ability to execute complex joint and multinational operations.
