The three-week exercise is being conducted under the theme “Enhancing Regional Cooperation and Readiness for Peace, Security, and Resilience.” It brings together armed forces, police units, civilian experts, and other stakeholders from across the region to strengthen collective security mechanisms and improve operational readiness in addressing evolving security threats.

Participating countries include Rwanda, Kenya, Burundi, Uganda, and Tanzania, while Somalia is taking part as an observer state.

A total of 342 participants drawn from military, police, civilian components, and regional peace and security institutions are involved in the exercise.
