The National Defence College (NDC) of Kenya visited the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, February 3, to deepen military ties and enhance defence education cooperation. This benchmarking visit aims to align Kenya's military education with global best practices and strengthen bilateral collaboration.

• The visit, led by Colonel Henry Mwenemeru on behalf of NDC Commandant General Juma Mwinyikai, focused on maintaining alignment with global best practices in military education.
• Officials from both institutions discussed joint and interagency education, civil–military relations, and the integration of ethics into leadership development.
• Future collaborations may include faculty exchange programs, joint research initiatives, and sustained dialogue on innovation in Professional Military Education.
• This engagement follows a recent Ksh8.9 billion runway expansion project at the Manda Bay naval base in Lamu County, a testament to the robust defence partnership between Kenya and the United States.
