US-Morocco Defense Cooperation Roadmap 2026-2036
The US and Morocco are set to enhance defense collaboration from 2026 to 2036, focusing on drones, cybersecurity, and military infrastructure. This initiative positions Morocco as a strategic hub for regional security and military operations.

A defense cooperation roadmap between the United States and Morocco outlines plans for the years 2026 to 2036, emphasizing enhanced collaboration in drones, cybersecurity, and military infrastructure. A key proposal is the establishment of a drone center in Morocco, aimed at becoming a regional hub for unmanned aerial system operations.
The roadmap also seeks to expand the scope of 'African Lion' exercises to include cybersecurity and artificial intelligence applications. While no permanent U.S. bases are proposed, designated cooperative security sites may be utilized for joint training. Improvements in interoperability, including potential access to the Link-16 tactical data system, could significantly enhance operational coordination between U.S. and Moroccan forces, further integrating Morocco into Western security frameworks.
