U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Eric L. Gagnon, assistant adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard, speaks on the importance of strengthening partnerships during the African Land Forces Summit 2026 in Rome, Italy, March 24, 2026. SETAF-AF, on behalf of the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, will host the African Land Forces Summit 2026 in Rome from March 22–24. The event brings together senior African military leaders, global industry innovators, and investors to strengthen regional security through new partnerships and technologies.

Under the theme “Empowering shared security through intelligence, innovation, and industry,” the summit is designed to bridge the gap between defense institutions and the private sector, moving beyond traditional procurement to emphasize dual-use technologies and non-traditional partnerships.
