美军会与马拉维军方及其它同盟国于8月1日-12日之间在马拉维进行代号为Southern Accord 2016的军事演习，并于8月8日-10日之间马拉维首都利隆圭进行救灾演习。Southern Accord是南部非洲发展共同体的同盟国家与美军展开的年度联合军演，为联合国及非洲联盟在刚果共和国进行的军事行动做规划。

有来自10个国家的近250个军事要员将会参与到今年的军事演习中。此次军演将各联盟国家集合起来，练习并展示在维和与救灾方面的熟练水平。军演内容将包括总部人员培训、维和场景演习、救灾行动演习。具体包括为期一周的教室理论课、一周的指挥所演习以及同步的桌面演习。演习目标是增强各方的实战能力，并巩固此前军演的成果。军演结束后，参与国会回到各自国家。马拉维军方负责人表示，此次军演是增强南部非洲发展共同体实战能力的重要契机，因为这次演习明确说明了领导力目标和战略目标、增强人身安全以及夯实共同价值观的目标。此次军演更为美国军方和南部非洲发展共同体持续的安全合作进程开启了新的篇章。此前，马拉维曾主持过2014年的Southern Accord军事演习。美方还与马拉维军方合作，在马拉维武装部队学院设立了未受命军人课程。二月，马拉维与美方签署了军事合作协议，为持续的军事合作、协助和培训合作建立了框架。此次的筹划军演是美国与马拉维军事关系进一步紧密的例证。美国驻马拉维大使弗吉尼亚表示，“马拉维素来有军事纪律严明、和平共存、捍卫宪法的良好声誉，其领导人是公认的地区和平稳定的支持者”。
